Isaiah 28:24-26
Good News Translation
24 Farmers don't constantly plow their fields and keep getting them ready for planting. 25 Once they have prepared the soil, they plant the seeds of herbs such as dill and cumin. They plant rows of wheat and barley,[a] and at the edges of their fields they plant other grain. 26 They know how to do their work, because God has taught them.
