那带种流泪出去的，必要欢欢乐乐地带禾捆回来！

那带种流泪出去的，必欢呼地带禾捆回来！

那带种流泪出去的，必欢呼地带禾捆回来！

含泪出去撒种的必欢呼着带回禾捆。

那带着种子流着泪出去撒种的，必带着禾捆欢呼快乐地回来。

那扛着种子、哭泣着出去的，必定扛着禾捆，欢呼着回来。

那帶種流淚出去的，必要歡歡樂樂地帶禾捆回來！

那帶種流淚出去的，必歡呼地帶禾捆回來！

那帶種流淚出去的，必歡呼地帶禾捆回來！

含淚出去撒種的必歡呼著帶回禾捆。

那帶著種子流著淚出去撒種的，必帶著禾捆歡呼快樂地回來。

願那帶着撒種的種子、哭着出去的、帶着禾捆、歡呼地回來。

那扛著種子、哭泣著出去的，必定扛著禾捆，歡呼著回來。

攜種流涕而出者、必挾禾束、欣然而歸兮、

出而播種、雖有憂傷、及其歸也、同攜禾束、欣喜不勝兮。

攜穀種以播者、哭泣而往、迨負禾束而歸、必然歡欣、

去時皆嗚咽。含淚播種子。來時應怡怡。帶笑刈嘉穗。

Don’t be misled— you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.You will enlarge the nation of Israel, and its people will rejoice. They will rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest and like warriors dividing the plunder.

To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.

“ In those coming days,” says the Lord,“ the people of Israel will return home together with the people of Judah.

“ If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer!Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you.Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear.You will forget your misery; it will be like water flowing away.Your life will be brighter than the noonday. Even darkness will be as bright as morning.

“ That is why they stand in front of God’s throne and serve him day and night in his Temple. And he who sits on the throne will give them shelter.They will never again be hungry or thirsty; they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

I will go home to my father and say,“ Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you,and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.”’“ So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.His son said to him,‘ Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son.’“ But his father said to the servants,‘ Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet.And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast,for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began.

The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.Then he brought them out and asked,“ Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”They replied,“ Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.”And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household.Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized.He brought them into his house and set a meal before them, and he and his entire household rejoiced because they all believed in God.
