Isaiah 28:27-29
American Standard Version
27 For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 28 [a]Bread grain is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it. 29 This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in [b]wisdom.

Isaiah 28:27-29
New International Version
27 Caraway is not threshed(A) with a sledge,(B)
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,(C)
and cumin with a stick.
28 Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart(D) may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
29 All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,
whose plan is wonderful,(E)
whose wisdom is magnificent.(F)
