21. The Lord will fight as he did at Mount Perazim.He will be angry as he was in the Valley of Gibeon.He will do his work, his strange work.He will finish his job, his strange job.
22. Now, you must not make fun of these things,or the ropes around you will become tighter.The Lord God All-Powerful has told mehow the whole earth will be destroyed.
23. Listen closely to what I tell you;listen carefully to what I say.
24. A farmer does not plow his field all the time;he does not go on working the soil.
25. He makes the ground flat and smooth.Then he plants the dill and scatters the cumin.He plants the wheat in rows,the barley in its special place,and other wheat as a border around the field.
26. His God teaches himand shows him the right way.
