Isaiah 28:23-29

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²³ Listen and hear my voice.
Pay attention and hear what I say.
²⁴ Does the ploughman plough every day to plant seed?
Does he continuously break up and cultivate the soil?
²⁵ When he has levelled its surface,
does he not then scatter black cumin and sow cumin?
He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots,
with spelt as their border.
²⁶ His God teaches him order;
he instructs him.
²⁷ Certainly black cumin is not threshed
with a threshing board,
and a cartwheel is not rolled over the cumin.
But black cumin is beaten out with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
²⁸ Bread grain is crushed,
but is not threshed endlessly.
Though the wheel of the farmer’s cart rumbles,
his horses do not crush it.
²⁹ This also comes from the Lord of Armies.
He gives wondrous advice;
he gives great wisdom.^(A)
