Those Who Sow Trouble Reap It

Job 4:7-8 – “Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Where were the upright ever destroyed? As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.

Job 15:35 – They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashions deceit.”

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.

Hosea 10:13-14 – But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception. Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors, the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be devastated—as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.

Application:

  • ·         Once initiated, sinful thoughts develop quickly into evil acts.
  • ·         Israel sowed the wind of idolatry and reaped the whirlwind of Assyria.
  • ·         Israel had been living a lie—and by lies.
