With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
Psalm 126:6
He who goes back and forth weeping, carrying his bag of seed [for planting],
Will indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

Because you [Judah] have forgotten the God of your salvation
And have not remembered the Rock of your Stronghold—
Therefore you plant
And set the grounds with vine slips of a strange god,

For they sow the wind [in evil]
And they reap the whirlwind [in disaster].

It yields no grain.
If it were to yield, strangers would swallow it up.

For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
