Isaiah 28:28-29
International Standard Version

28 It[a] must be ground;[b]
    one cannot keep threshing it forever.
Even if he drives his cart[c] and horses over it,
    he cannot crush it.
29 This insight also comes from the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
    who is distinguished[d] in practical advice
        and[e] magnificent in sound wisdom.”

Isaiah 28:28-29
New International Version

28 Grain must be ground to make bread;
    so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart(A) 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,(B)
    whose wisdom is magnificent.(C)
