Isaiah 28:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ Caraway seeds are beaten out with a rod.
    They aren’t separated out under a threshing sled.
Cumin seeds are beaten out with a stick.
    The wheel of a cart isn’t rolled over them.
²⁸ Grain must be ground up to make bread.
    A farmer separates it out.
    But he doesn’t go on doing it forever.
He drives the wheels of a threshing cart over it.
    But he doesn’t use horses to grind the grain.
²⁹ All these insights come from the Lord who rules over all.
    His advice is wonderful. His wisdom is glorious.
