Psalms 1:3
1:3 He is like a tree planted by flowing streams;
it yields its fruit at the proper time,
and its leaves never fall off.
He succeeds in everything he attempts.
Jeremiah 5:24
5:24 They do not say to themselves,
“Let us revere the Lord our God.
It is he who gives us the autumn rains and the spring rains at the proper time.
It is he who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.”
Matthew 21:34-36
21:34 When the harvest time was near, he sent his slaves
to the tenants to collect his portion of the crop.
21:35 But the tenants seized his slaves, beat one,
killed another, and stoned another.
21:36 Again he sent other slaves, more than the first, and they treated them the same way.
Mark 12:2-5
12:2 At harvest time he sent a slave
to the tenants to collect from them
his portion of the crop.
12:3 But
those tenants
seized his slave,
beat him,
and sent him away empty-handed.
12:4 So
he sent another slave to them again. This one they struck on the head and treated outrageously.
12:5 He sent another, and that one they killed. This happened to many others, some of whom were beaten, others killed.
