You Will Harvest Little

Deuteronomy 28:38-39 – You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.

Hosea 8:7 – “They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up.

Haggai 1:6 – You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”

Zephaniah 1:13 – Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. Though they build houses, they will not live in them; though they plant vineyards, they will not drink the wine.”

Application:

• ·         Israel sowed the wind of idolatry and reaped the whirlwind of Assyria.
• ·         “Planted much…harvested little” was a curse for disobedience.
• ·         The assets of those who have become wealthy through dishonesty will be exposed and plundered.
