Isaias

22 And now deal ye not scoffingly, lest your bonds grow strong; for a destruction and a decision have I heard from the Lord God of Hosts, upon the whole earth.

23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my speech.

24 Is the ploughman always ploughing, to sow? (always) opening and harrowing his ground?

25 Doth he not, when he hath made plain the face thereof, cast abroad fennel, and scatter cummin, and set the wheat in rows, and barley in the appointed place, and spelt in the border thereof?

26 And he instructeth him according to judgment; his God teacheth him.

27 For fennel is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled upon cummin; for fennel is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod.
