Isaiah 28:27-29
New American Standard Bible
27 For dill is not threshed with a (A)threshing sledge,
Nor is the cartwheel [a]driven over cumin;
But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cumin with a club.
28 Grain for bread is crushed,
Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever.
Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventually [b]damage it,
He does not thresh it longer.
29 This also comes from the Lord of armies,
Who has made His counsel (B)wonderful and His wisdom (C)great.

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)
