Isaiah 28:24-26
International Standard Version
24 Does he who plows for sowing plow all the time?
Does he keep on breaking up and harrowing his field?
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]
