Isaiah 28:21-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

21. For the Lord shall rise up as on Mount Perazim,bestir himself as in the Valley of Gibeon,To carry out his work—strange his work!to perform his deed—alien his deed!

22. Now, cease scoffing,lest your bonds be tightened,For I have heard a decree of destructionfrom the Lord, the God of hosts,for the whole land.

23. Give ear and hear my voice,pay attention and hear my word:

24. Is the plowman forever plowing in order to sow,always loosening and harrowing the field?

25. When he has leveled the surface,does he not scatter caraway and sow cumin,Put in wheat and barley,with spelt as its border?
