That

“According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity
And those who sow trouble harvest it.

For they sow the wind
And they reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
It yields no grain.
Should it yield, strangers would swallow it up.

You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice,
You have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors,

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

The rod of his anger shall fail

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his back,
But the lips of the wise will protect them.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous,
So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

For You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.

Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,

“Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you,
Because the rod that struck you is broken;
For from the serpent’s root a viper will come out,
And its fruit will be a flying serpent.

For at the voice of the Lord

Assyria will be terrified,

When He strikes with the rod.

General references

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

“So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.
