Isaiah 28:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² Now, you must not make fun of these things.
    If you do, the ropes around you will become tighter.
The Lord of heaven’s armies has told me these things.
    He has told me how the whole earth will be destroyed.

²³ Listen closely to what I tell you.
    Listen carefully to what I say.
²⁴ A farmer does not plow his field all the time.
    He does not go on working the soil.
