5 Bible Verses about Agriculture, Used Figuratively

The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life, so the sower and reaper can rejoice together. For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor.”

For just as rain and snow fall from heaven
and do not return there
without saturating the earth
and making it germinate and sprout,
and providing seed to sow
and food to eat,

For ground that has drunk the rain that has often fallen on it and that produces vegetation useful to those it is cultivated for receives a blessing from God.

As it is written:

He scattered;
He gave to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.

The soil produces a crop by itself—first the blade, then the head, and then the ripe grain on the head.
