Isaiah 28:24-26
English Standard Version
24 Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 (A)When he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmer[a] as the border?
26 (B)For he is rightly instructed;
his God teaches him.

24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
