International Standard Version
Isaiah 28:23-25
International Standard Version
The God who Plows and Harvests
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?
25 When he has leveled its surface,
he scatters caraway[a] and sows cumin, doesn’t he?
He plants wheat in rows,
barley in its designated place,
and feed for livestock[b] around its borders,[c] doesn’t he?
