Isaiah 28:25-27
International Standard Version

25 When he has leveled its surface,
    he scatters caraway[a] and sows cumin, doesn’t he?
He plants wheat in rows,
    barley in its designated place,
and feed for livestock[b] around its borders,[c] doesn’t he?
26 His God instructs him regarding the correct way,
    directing him how to plant.[d]

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.
