8 As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
8 As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.
8 It's my observation that those who plow evil and sow trouble reap evil and trouble.
8 Even as I have seen, Those who plow iniquity And sow trouble reap the same.
8 My experience shows that those who plant trouble and cultivate evil will harvest the same.
8 Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod
8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail.
8 Whoever sows sin reaps weeds, and bullying anger sputters into nothing.
8 He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, And the rod of his anger will fail.
8 Those who plant injustice will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an end.
(Read Proverbs 22:8)
The power which many abuse, will soon fail them.
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
7 Don't be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others - ignoring God! -
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
7 Don't be misled-you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
(Read Galatians 6:6-11)
Many excuse themselves from the work of religion, though they may make a show, and profess it. They may impose upon others, yet they deceive themselves if they think to impose upon God, who knows their hearts as well as actions; and as he cannot be deceived, so he will not be mocked. Our present time is seed time; in the other world we shall reap as we sow now. As there are two sorts of sowing, one to the flesh, and the other to the Spirit, so will the reckoning be hereafter. Those who live a carnal, sensual life, must expect no other fruit from such a course than misery and ruin. But those who, under the guidance and influences of the Holy Spirit, live a life of faith in Christ, and abound in Christian graces, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. We are all very apt to tire in duty, particularly in doing good. This we should carefully watch and guard against. Only to perseverance in well-doing is the reward promised. Here is an exhortation to all to do good in their places. We should take care to do good in our life-time, and make this the business of our lives. Especially when fresh occasions offer, and as far as our power reaches.
8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
8 harvests a crop of weeds. All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.
8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 4:8
Commentary on Job 4:7-11
(Read Job 4:7-11)
Eliphaz argues, 1. That good men were never thus ruined. But there is one event both to the righteous and to the wicked, Ecclesiastes 9:2, both in life and death; the great and certain difference is after death. Our worst mistakes are occasioned by drawing wrong views from undeniable truths. 2. That wicked men were often thus ruined: for the proof of this, Eliphaz vouches his own observation. We may see the same every day.
