We see this metaphor used again by Isaiah when he writes, “The wicked conceive trouble and give birth to evil.” (Isaiah 59:4) Later, in the New Testament, James writes, “Evil desires are conceived and give birth to sin, and sin when full grown, gives birth to death.” (James 1:15) What they all are saying, is that wickedness isn’t just one impulsive act, but rather a lifestyle of unwise decisions & desires…and where the excitement of temptation, enticement, and seduction is a preferred way of life. Therefore, their point is clear…a sinner will reap what he sows, and sadly, their sin will always bring retribution upon them…including eternal/spiritual death.
