13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
    every precious stone was your covering,
carnelian, chrysolite, and moonstone,
    beryl, onyx, and jasper,

    and your engravings.[b]
On the day that you were created

and plant wheat in rows
    and barley in its proper place[a]

    and excellent in wisdom.(B)
