13 Ye have ploughed wickedness, reaped iniquity, eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst confide in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow mischief, reap the same.
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
He that soweth unrighteousness shall reap iniquity, and the rod of his wrath shall have an end.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own devices.
A man's belly is satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips is he satisfied. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall not escape.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
