For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,[ and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed[ is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.And the earth brought forth grass,[ and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed[ was] in itself, after his kind: and God saw that[ it was] good.
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
