Isaiah 28:24-26
The Voice
24 Does a farmer constantly plow and turn the soil to plant his seed?
No, of course not.
25 When he’s leveled and tilled the soil,
doesn’t he plant each seed according to its specifications?
He scatters the dill, sows the cummin, plants the wheat in rows,
puts barley and spelt where they grow best.
26 God instructs and directs the farmer
in how best to manage the land.
Isaiah 28:24-26
New International Version
Isaiah 28:24-26
New International Version
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]
and spelt(D) in its field?
26 His God instructs him
and teaches(E) him the right way.
