Isaiah 28:23-29
English Standard Version
23 Give ear, and hear my voice;
give attention, and hear my speech.
24 Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 (A)When he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmer[a] as the border?
26 (B)For he is rightly instructed;
his God teaches him.
27 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.
28 Does one crush grain for bread?
No, he does not thresh it forever;[b]
when he drives his cart wheel over it
with his horses, he does not crush it.
29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
he is (C)wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.

Isaiah 28:23-29
International Standard Version
The God who Plows and Harvests
23 “Pay attention!
Listen to what I have to say;
Pay attention,
and hear my speech.
24 Does he who plows for sowing plow all the time?
Does he keep on breaking up and harrowing his field?
25 When he has leveled its surface,
he scatters caraway[a] and sows cumin, doesn’t he?
He plants wheat in rows,
barley in its designated place,
and feed for livestock[b] around its borders,[c] doesn’t he?
26 His God instructs him regarding the correct way,
directing him how to plant.[d]
27 For caraway is not threshed with a sharp sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin.
Instead, caraway is winnowed with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
28 It[e] must be ground;[f]
one cannot keep threshing it forever.
Even if he drives his cart[g] and horses over it,
he cannot crush it.
29 This insight also comes from the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
who is distinguished[h] in practical advice
and[i] magnificent in sound wisdom.”
