Pictured to the left is a copy of a version of the Holy Bible, known as the King James Version ( KJV ). Jeremiah 6:19 reads as follows:
"19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it."
The phrase "the fruit of their thoughts," in verse nineteen ( above ), has a cross-reference to Proverbs 1:31: verses thirty and thirty-one read as follows: "30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices."
The phrase "shall they eat of the fruit of their own way," in verse thirty-one, has a cross-reference to Job 4:8: verses seven and eight read as follows: "7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? 8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same." The prophet Jeremiah teaches, in verse nineteen, that those who reject the heavenly Father's ( see Matthew 5:9, 16; 6:9, 14, for example ) words ( His law ) shall reap the fruit of their evil thoughts. This is the same message that the apostle Paul ( see Galatians 1:1 ) wrote ( see 1:11-14, 20; 5:2; 6:11; and Acts 9:1; 13:9, for example ) in ( 6:7 ): "7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Please study the Holy Bible ( which is God's word - see Psalm 119:65-73, 142, and 151; John 17:1, 3, and 17; and 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16, 17, for example ). If you have any questions about the Holy Bible, you can contact me by e-mail at:
