24 A farmer does not plow his field all the time;
    he does not go on working the soil.
25 He makes the ground flat and smooth.
    Then he plants the dill and scatters the cumin.
He plants the wheat in rows,
    the barley in its special place,
    and other wheat as a border around the field.
26 His God teaches him
    and shows him the right way.
