Isaiah 28:23-29

Lexham English Bible LEB

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}, does he not scatter dill, and sow cumin seed, and {plant} wheat [in] planted rows, and barley [in] an appointed place, and spelt grain [as] its border?

26 And his God instructs him about the prescription; he teaches him.

27 For dill is not threshed with [a] threshing sledge, nor is a wheel of a utility cart {rolled} 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.

29 This also comes forth from Yahweh of hosts. He is wonderful [in] advice; he makes great wisdom.

New International Version NIV

23 Listen and hear my voice; pay attention and hear what I say.

24 When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?

25 When he has leveled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? Does he not plant wheat in its place,barley in its plot,and spelt in its field?

26 His God instructs him and teaches him the right way.

27 Caraway is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin; caraway is beaten out with a rod, and cumin with a stick.

28 Grain must be ground to make bread; so one does not go on threshing it forever. The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it, but one does not use horses to grind grain.

29 All this also comes from the LORD Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent.
