Isaiah 28:25-27
International Standard Version
25 When he has leveled its surface,
he scatters caraway[a] and sows cumin, doesn’t he?
He plants wheat in rows,
barley in its designated place,
and feed for livestock[b] around its borders,[c] doesn’t he?
26 His God instructs him regarding the correct way,
directing him how to plant.[d]
27 For caraway is not threshed with a sharp sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin.
Instead, caraway is winnowed with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
