It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. ¹ 

It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

And the fruit that consists of righteousness ¹  is planted ²  in peace among ³  those who make peace.

Their residents are powerless, ¹  they are terrified and ashamed. They are as short-lived as plants in the field, or green vegetation. ²  They are as short-lived as grass on the rooftops ³  when it is scorched by the east wind. ⁴

Indeed, this is the joy of his way, ¹  and out of the earth ²  others spring up. ³ 

The lotus trees conceal it in their ¹  shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it.

The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy. ¹ 

“Listen! A sower went out to sow. ¹ 

For in this instance the saying is true, ¹  ‘One sows and another reaps.’

The hail struck everything in the open fields, both ¹  people and animals, throughout all the land of Egypt. The hail struck everything that grows ²  in the field, and it broke all the trees of the field to pieces.

and bring the heifer down to a wadi with flowing water, ¹  to a valley that is neither plowed nor sown. ²  There at the wadi they are to break the heifer’s neck.

“Indeed, a time is coming,” ¹  says the Lord, ²  “when I will cause people and animals to sprout up in the lands of Israel and Judah. ³ 

You will plant crops, but will not harvest them; you will squeeze oil from the olives, ¹  but you will have no oil to rub on your bodies; ²  you will squeeze juice from the grapes, but you will have no wine to drink. ³ 

“So listen to the parable of the sower:

The sower sows the word.

It is like a mustard seed ¹  that a man took and sowed ²  in his garden. It ³  grew and became a tree, ⁴  and the wild birds ⁵  nested in its branches.” ⁶ 

They ¹  were told ²  not to damage the grass of the earth, or any green plant or tree, but only those people ³  who did not have the seal of God on their ⁴  forehead.

I made you plentiful like sprouts in a field; you grew tall and came of age so that you could wear jewelry. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, but you were still naked and bare.

For the land where you are headed ¹  is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, a land where you planted seed and which you irrigated by hand ²  like a vegetable garden.
