Psalm 126:5
New King James Version
5 (A)Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
Jeremiah 31:27-30
New King James Version
27 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that (A)I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass, that as I have (B)watched over them (C)to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them (D)to build and to plant, says the Lord. 29 (E)In those days they shall say no more:
‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
30 (F)But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Hosea 2:21-23
New King James Version
21 “It shall come to pass in that day
That (A)I will answer,” says the Lord;
“I will answer the heavens,
And they shall answer the earth.
22 The earth shall answer
With grain,
With new wine,
And with oil;
They shall answer [a]Jezreel.
23 Then (B)I will sow her for Myself in the earth,
(C)And I will have mercy on her who had [b]not obtained mercy;
Then (D)I will say to those who were [c]not My people,
‘You are [d]My people!’
And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ”

New King James Version
12 “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
For there I will sit to (A)judge all the surrounding nations.
13 (B)Put in the sickle, for (C)the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down;
For the (D)winepress is full,
The vats overflow—
For their wickedness is great.”

For (E)the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
