Isaiah 28:23-29 - ESV Online

ISAIAH 28:23-29

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

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 as the border? 26

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;

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 wonderful in counsel

and excellent in wisdom.
