¹³ You were in Eden,^(A)
    the garden of God;^(B)
every precious stone^(C) adorned you:
    carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
    topaz, onyx and jasper,
    lapis lazuli, turquoise^(D) and beryl.^[a]
Your settings and mountings^[b] were made of gold;
    on the day you were created they were prepared.^(E)
14 You were anointed^(F) as a guardian cherub,^(G)
    for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
    you walked among the fiery stones.

²⁵ When he has leveled the surface,
    does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?^(A)
Does he not plant wheat in its place,^[a]
    barley^(B) in its plot,^[b]
    and spelt^(C) in its field?
²⁶ His God instructs him
    and teaches^(D) him the right way.

²⁷ Caraway is not threshed^(E) with a sledge,^(F)
    nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,^(G)
    and cumin with a stick.
²⁸ Grain must be ground to make bread;
    so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart^(H) may be rolled over it,
    but one does not use horses to grind grain.
²⁹ All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,
    whose plan is wonderful,^(I)
    whose wisdom is magnificent.^(J)

¹⁴ He makes grass grow^(A) for the cattle,
    and plants for people to cultivate—
    bringing forth food^(B) from the earth:
¹⁵ wine^(C) that gladdens human hearts,
    oil^(D) to make their faces shine,
    and bread that sustains^(E) their hearts.
