Psalms 129:7
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
129:7. When with his sickle the farmer would cut down the tufts, he found nothing to lay hold upon: the grass promised fairly enough, but there was no fulfillment, there was nothing to cut or to carry, nothing for the hand to grasp, nothing for the lap to gather. Eastern people carry their corn in their bosoms, but in this case there was nothing to bear home. Thus do the wicked come to nothing. By God’s just appointment they prove a disappointment. Their fire ends in smoke; their verdure turns to vanity; their flourishing is but a form of withering. No one profits by them; least of all are they profitable to themselves. Their aim is bad, their work is worse, their end is worst of all.
