You reap what you sow

A fairly common teaching in the New Testament is that one gets what one deserves, that God will 'render to every man according to his deeds' (Romans 2:5-6).

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7, King James Version

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. Hosea 8:7, King James Version

This phrase is nearly synonymous with, 'you made your bed, now lie in it.'.
