As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it. This is from Job 4:8 in the Bible. Por lo que yo he visto, los que aran iniquidad Y los que siembran aflicción, eso siegan

I would love to start a Spanish verse of the day, but for obvious reasons, I think it might upset others. - Nicole-B, Sep 27, 2009

The proverb you are referring to actually originated in the Bible. It is taken from a verse in the Book of Gálatas (Gálatas 6:7) The whole verse reads:
No os engañéis; Dios no puede ser burlado: pues todo lo que el hombre sembrare, eso también,segará. Galatas 6:7
Translated to English it reads: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.
I hope this helps!

I guess that makes it a Hebrew proverb.
