New Testament

Isaiah 28:23-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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?

26. His God has taught him this rule,he has instructed him.

27. For caraway is not threshed with a sledge,nor does a cartwheel roll over cumin.But caraway is beaten out with a staff,and cumin with a rod.

28. Grain is crushed for bread, but not forever;though he thresh it thoroughly,and drive his cartwheel and horses over it,he does not pulverize it.

29. This too comes from the Lord of hosts;wonderful is his counsel and great his wisdom.
