24 When a farmer plows for planting,(A) does he plow continually?
Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?
25 When he has leveled the surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?(B)
Does he not plant wheat in its place,[a]
barley(C) in its plot,[b]

26 His God instructs him
and teaches(E) him the right way.
