Leviticus 26:20

"A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. for...: or, of Solomon that...: Heb. that are builders of it in it"

"And then the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you."

"Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God."

"Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity? for...: or, in vain?"

"Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit."

"Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended."

"In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. a heap...: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow"

"Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty."

"I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain."

"I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase."
