Isaiah 28:22-24

International Standard Version

²² But as for you,^[a] don’t start mocking,
    or your chains will become tighter;
for I have heard from the Lord^[b] of the Heavenly Armies about destruction,
    and it is decreed against the whole land.

²³ “Pay attention!
    Listen to what I have to say;
Pay attention,
    and hear my speech.
²⁴ Does he who plows for sowing plow all the time?
    Does he keep on breaking up and harrowing his field?
