Isaiah 28:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ Listen and hear my voice.
    Pay attention to what I’m saying.
²⁴ When a farmer plows in order to plant, does he plow without stopping?
    Does he keep on breaking up the soil and making the field level?
²⁵ When he’s made the surface even, doesn’t he plant caraway seeds?
    Doesn’t he scatter cumin seeds?
Doesn’t he plant wheat in its proper place?
    Doesn’t he plant barley where it belongs?
    Doesn’t he plant spelt along the edge of the field?
