Isaiah 28:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ A farmer doesn’t use ·heavy boards to crush [a sledge to thresh] dill;
    he doesn’t use a wagon wheel to crush cumin.
He uses a small stick to break open the dill,
    and with a ·stick [rod; flail] he opens the cumin.
²⁸ The grain is ground to make bread.
    People do not ruin it by ·crushing [threshing] it forever.
The farmer separates the wheat from the chaff with his cart,
    but he does not let his horses ·grind [crush] it.
²⁹ This lesson [^Cthat the Lord’s punishment fits the sin] also comes from the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts],
    who gives wonderful ·advice [counsel; 9:6], who ·is very wise [or gives excellent/great wisdom].
