“And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness — the reversal is profound: whereas envy and selfish ambition produce disorder, the sower of peace (speirō en eirēnē) reaps dikaiosynē (righteousness). The agricultural metaphor suggests that peacemaking is an investment in an eternal harvest, aligned with God's purposes. This verse concludes the extended discussion of the tongue and wisdom, showing that true wisdom produces righteous peace, not destructive division.
