Isaiah 28:27-29
International Standard Version
27 For caraway is not threshed with a sharp sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin.
Instead, caraway is winnowed with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
28 It[a] must be ground;[b]
one cannot keep threshing it forever.
Even if he drives his cart[c] and horses over it,
he cannot crush it.
29 This insight also comes from the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
who is distinguished[d] in practical advice
and[e] magnificent in sound wisdom.”
