Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 28:24-29 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

24. When a farmer ploughs for planting, does he plough continually?Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?

25. When he has levelled the surface,does he not sow caraway and scatter cummin?Does he not plant wheat in its place,barley in its plot,and spelt in its field?

26. His God instructs himand teaches him the right way.

27. Caraway is not threshed with a sledge,nor is the cartwheel rolled over cummin;caraway is beaten out with a rod,and cummin with a stick.

28. Grain must be ground to make bread;so one does not go on threshing it for ever.The wheels of a threshing-cart 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,whose wisdom is magnificent.
