Let him not put trust in worthless things, being led astray,
for what he gets in exchange will prove worthless.

No one makes claims justly;
no one pleads honestly.
They trust in empty and worthless words;
they conceive trouble and give birth to iniquity.

In my experience, those who plow injustice
and those who sow trouble reap the same.

True wisdom and power belong to Him.
The deceived and the deceiver are His.

Place no trust in oppression,
or false hope in robbery.
If wealth increases,
pay no attention to it.

The one who sows injustice will reap disaster,
and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

For you have forgotten the God of your salvation,
and you have failed to remember
the rock of your strength;
therefore you will plant beautiful plants
and set out cuttings from exotic vines.

He feeds on ashes.
His deceived mind has led him astray,
and he cannot deliver himself,
or say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”

Indeed, they sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.
There is no standing grain;
what sprouts fails to yield flour.
Even if they did,
foreigners would swallow it up.

Those who cling to worthless idols
forsake faithful love,

For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap,

Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things.
