Ecclesiastes 11:6
New King James Version
6 In the morning sow your seed,
And in the evening do not withhold your hand;
For you do not know which will prosper,
Either this or that,
Or whether both alike will be good.
2 Corinthians 9:10-11
New King James Version
10 Now [a]may He who (A)supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, [b]supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your (B)righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, (C)which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

Isaiah 55:10
New King James Version
10 “For (A)as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
Haggai 1:6-11
New King James Version
6 “You have (A)sown much, and bring in little;
You eat, but do not have enough;
You drink, but you are not filled with drink;
You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;
And (B)he who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! 8 Go up to the (C)mountains and bring wood and build the [a]temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord. 9 (D)“You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, (E)I blew it away. Why?” says the Lord of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore (F)the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. 11 For I (G)called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain and the new wine and the oil, on whatever the ground brings forth, on men and livestock, and on (H)all the labor of your hands.”

17 (A)I struck you with blight and mildew and hail (B)in all the labors of your hands; (C)yet you did not turn to Me,’ says the Lord. 18 ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from (D)the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid—consider it: 19 (E)Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will (F)bless you.’ ”
