Isaiah 28:23-29

Revised Standard Version

²³ Give ear, and hear my voice;
    hearken, and hear my speech.
²⁴ Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
    does he continually open and harrow his ground?
²⁵ When he has leveled its surface,
    does he not scatter dill, sow cummin,
and put in wheat in rows
    and barley in its proper place,
    and spelt as the border?
²⁶ For he is instructed aright;
    his God teaches him.

²⁷ Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
    nor is a cart wheel rolled over cummin;
but dill is beaten out with a stick,
    and cummin with a rod.
²⁸ Does one crush bread grain?
    No, he does not thresh it for ever;
when he drives his cart wheel over it
    with his horses, he does not crush it.
²⁹ This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
    he is wonderful in counsel,
    and excellent in wisdom.
