Isaiah 28:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 Is it all day that the plowman plows,
opens to sow seed, harrows his ground?
25 When he has leveled its surface,[a] does he not scatter dill,
and sow cumin seed,
and plant[b] wheat in planted rows,[c]
and barley in an appointed place,
and spelt grain as its border?
26 And his God instructs him about the prescription;[d]
he teaches him.

GOD’S WORD Translation
24 Does a farmer go on plowing every day so he can plant?
Does he continue to break up the soil and make furrows in the ground?
25 When he has smoothed its surface,
doesn’t he scatter black cumin seed and plant cumin?
Doesn’t he plant wild wheat in rows?
Doesn’t he put barley in its own area
and winter wheat at its borders?
26 God will guide him in judgment,
and his God will teach him.
