- the harvest:
- "For¹ aforeª the harvest,ª when the budª is perfect,ª° and the sour grapeª is¹ ripeningª° in the flower,ª he shall both cut offª° the sprigsª with pruning hooks,ª and take awayª° [and] cut downª° the branches.ª ... They shall be leftª° togetherª unto the fowlsª of the mountains,ª and to the beastsª of the earth:ª and the fowlsª shall summerª° upon¹ them, and all¹ the beastsª of the earthª shall winterª° upon¹ them." {Isa 18:5-6} + "Even as¹ I have seen,ª° they that plowª° iniquity,ª and sowª° wickedness,ª reapª° the same." {Job 4:8} + "The prophetsª prophesyª° falsely,ª and the priestsª bear ruleª° by¹ their means;ª and my peopleª loveª° [to have it] so:¹ and what¹ will ye doª° in the endª thereof?" {Jer 5:31} + "For¹ they have sownª° the wind,ª and they shall reapª° the whirlwind:ª it hath no¹ stalk:ª the budª shall yieldª° no¹ meal:ª if² so be¹ it yield,ª° the strangersª° shall swallow it up.ª°" {Hsa 8:7} + "Rejoiceª° not,¹ O Israel,ª for¹ joy,ª as [other] people:ª for¹ thou hast gone a whoringª° from¹¹ thy God,ª thou hast lovedª° a rewardª upon¹ every¹ cornfloor.ªª ... They shall not¹ offerª° wineª [offerings] to the LORD,ª neither¹ shall they be pleasingª° unto him: their sacrificesª [shall be] unto them as the breadª of mourners;ª all¹ that eatª° thereof shall be polluted:ª° for¹ their breadª for their soulª shall not¹ come²° into¹ the houseª of the LORD.ª" {Hsa 9:1-4} + "Ephraimª is smitten,ª° their rootª is dried up,ª° they shall bearª° no¹ fruit:ª yea,¹ though¹ they bring forth,ª° yet will I slayª° [even] the belovedª [fruit] of their womb.ª" {Hsa 9:16} + "Sowª° to yourselves in righteousness,ª reapª° inª mercy;ª break upª° your fallow ground:ª for [it is] timeª to seekª°¹ the LORD,ª till¹ he comeª° and rainª° righteousnessª upon you. ... Soª shall Bethelª doª° unto you becauseª¹ of your great² wickedness:ª in a morningª shall the kingª of Israelª utterly²° be cut off.ª°" {Hsa 10:12-15} + "Awake,ª° ye drunkards,ª and weep;ª° and howl,ª° all¹ ye drinkersª° of wine,ª because of¹ the new wine;ª for¹ it is cut offª° from your mouth.ª¹ ... The vineª is dried up,ª° and the fig treeª languisheth;ª° the pomegranate² tree,¹ the palm treeª also,¹ and the apple tree,ª [even] all¹ the treesª of the field,ª are withered:ª° because¹ joyª is withered awayª° from¹ the sonsª of men.ª" {Jol 1:5-12} + "Be²° notª deceived;ª° Godª is²° notª mocked:ª° forª whatsoeverªª a manª soweth,ª° thatª shall he²° alsoª reap.ª° ... For²¹ he that sowethª° toª hisª fleshª shall²° ofª the¹ fleshª reapª° corruption;ª butª he that sowethª° toª the¹ Spiritª shall²° ofª the¹ Spiritª reapª° lifeª everlasting.ª" {Gal 6:7-8}
