Isaiah 28:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 Is it all day that the plowman plows,
opens to sow seed, harrows his ground?
25 When he has leveled its surface,[a] does he not scatter dill,
and sow cumin seed,
and plant[b] wheat in planted rows,[c]
and barley in an appointed place,
and spelt grain as its border?
26 And his God instructs him about the prescription;[d]
he teaches him.
