Isaiah 28:27-29
The Message
27-29 And at the harvest, the delicate herbs and spices,
the dill and cumin, are treated delicately.
On the other hand, wheat is threshed and milled, but still not endlessly.
The farmer knows how to treat each kind of grain.
He’s learned it all from God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
who knows everything about when and how and where.
Isaiah 28:27-28
New International Version
27 Caraway is not threshed(A) with a sledge,(B)
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,(C)
and cumin with a stick.
28 Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart(D) may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
