Isaiah 28:23-29

23Open your ears, and listen to me! Pay attention, and hear me!

24Does a farmer go on plowing every day so he can plant? Does he continue to break up the soil and make furrows in the ground?

25When he has smoothed its surface, doesn’t he scatter black cumin seed and plant cumin? Doesn’t he plant wild wheat in rows? Doesn’t he put barley in its own area and winter wheat at its borders?

26God will guide him in judgment, and his God will teach him.

27Black cumin isn’t threshed  with a sledge, and wagon wheels aren’t rolled over cumin. Black cumin is beaten with a rod and cumin with a stick.

28Grain is ground into flour, but the grinding eventually stops. It will be threshed. The wheels of his cart will roll over it, but his horses won’t crush it.

29All of this has come from the Lord of Armies. His counsel is wonderful, and his wisdom is great.
