Isaiah 28:23-29

Lexham English Bible

²³ Listen, and hear my voice!
    Listen attentively, and hear my word!
²⁴ Is it all day that the plowman plows,
    opens to sow seed, harrows his ground?
²⁵ When he has leveled its surface,^[a] does he not scatter dill,
    and sow cumin seed,
    and plant^[b] wheat in planted rows,^[c]
    and barley in an appointed place,
    and spelt grain as its border?
²⁶ And his God instructs him about the prescription;^[d]
    he teaches him.
²⁷ For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
    nor is a wheel of a utility cart rolled^[e] over cumin,
but dill is beaten out with a stick,
    and cumin with a rod.
²⁸ Grain is crushed fine,
    but certainly one does not thresh it forever;
and one drives the wheel of his cart,
    but his horses do not crush it.
