13 You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, For you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, And sow trouble, Reap the same.
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, And the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
For they sow the wind, And they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
Don't trust in oppression. Don't become vain in robbery. If riches increase, Don't set your heart on them.
Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own schemes.
A man's stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied. Death and life are in the power of the tongue; Those who love it will eat its fruit.
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, And the princes with their lies.
