23. Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
24. The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth and harroweth his ground!
25. Hath he not, if he have made level its face, Then scattered fitches, and cummin sprinkle, And hath placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rie [in] its own border?
26. And instruct him for judgment doth his God, He doth direct him.
27. For not with a sharp-pointed thing threshed are fitches, And the wheel of a cart on cummin turned round, For with a staff beaten out are fitches, And cummin with a rod.
