26 His God ·teaches [instructs] him
    and ·shows [teaches] him the right way.
27 A farmer doesn’t use ·heavy boards to crush [a sledge to thresh] dill;
    he doesn’t use a wagon wheel to crush cumin.
He uses a small stick to break open the dill,
    and with a ·stick [rod; flail] he opens the cumin.
28 The grain is ground to make bread.
    People do not ruin it by ·crushing [threshing] it forever.
The farmer separates the wheat from the chaff with his cart,
    but he does not let his horses ·grind [crush] it.

26 His God instructs him
    and teaches(A) him the right way.

    but one does not use horses to grind grain.
