5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread,

Ezekiel 28:13-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
every precious stone was your covering,
carnelian, chrysolite, and moonstone,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,[a] turquoise, and emerald;
and worked in gold were your settings
and your engravings.[b]
On the day that you were created
they were prepared.(A)
14 You were a cherub;[c]
I placed you on the holy mountain of God;
you walked among the stones of fire.(B)
Isaiah 28:25-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
25 When they have leveled its surface,
do they not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and plant wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place[a]
and spelt as the border?
26 For they are well instructed;
their God teaches them.
27 For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin,
but dill is beaten out with a stick
and cumin with a rod.(A)
28 Grain is crushed for bread,
but one does not thresh it forever;
one drives the cart wheel and horses over it
but does not pulverize it.
29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
he is wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.(B)
