Isaiah 28:23-25
Common English Bible
Plowing and threshing
23 Listen and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear my word:
24 Does the plowman plow without stopping for planting,
opening and harrowing their ground?
25 When he has smoothed its surface,
doesn’t he scatter fennel,[a] and sow cumin,
and plant wheat and barley in their places,
and spelt as a border?
