Sowing Seed

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

• Fertilizing

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

The sower soweth the word.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

• Chiding
• Cowardice
• Pillow

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

• Heart
• Upright

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
