Isaiah 28:22-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²² Now stop your scornful attitude, or your chains
        will be made stronger,
because I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord,
        the Lord of Armies,
    against the whole earth.

²³ Listen! Hear my voice.
Pay attention to what I say.
²⁴ Does the plowman keep plowing all day in order to plant?
Does he keep tilling the soil and turning over the dirt?
