Lest your bonds be ma1de strong;
For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,
aA destruction determined even upon the whole earth.
Listen to the Teaching of God
Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods?
Does he not sow the black cummin
And scatter the cummin,
Plant the wheat in rows,
The barley in the appointed place,
And the1 spelt in its place?
Nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin;
But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick,
And the cummin with a rod.
Therefore he does not thresh it forever,
Break it with his cartwheel,
Or crush it with his horsemen.
| << Isaiah 28:23 | Isaiah 28:25 >> |
