21. For the LORD shall rise up as on mount Perazim, he shall be angry as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his awesome work; and bring to pass his act, his alien act.
22. Now therefore be not mockers, lest your bonds be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a destruction, even determined upon the whole earth.
23. Give ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24. Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? does he keep opening and breaking the clods of his ground?
25. When he has made level the face of it, does he not sow the dill, and scatter the cummin, and plant the wheat in rows and the barley and the spelt in their places?
26. For his God does instruct him aright, and does teach him.
27. For the dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, neither is a cart wheel rolled over the cummin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cummin with a rod.
28. Bread grain is ground; therefore he will not forever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor crush it with his horsemen.
29. This also comes forth from the LORD of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
