John 4:37

³⁷For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’

³⁷ And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁷For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

³⁷So the proverb ‘one sows, another reaps,’ is true.

¹⁵You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.

⁸then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

²¹for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’

³So it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the children of the east came up against them.
