23Give ear and hear my voice,
         Listen and hear my words.

24Does the farmer plow continually to plant seed?
         Does he continually turn and harrow the ground?

25Does he not level its surface
         And sow dill and scatter cummin
         And plant wheat in rows,
         Barley in its place and rye within its area?

26For his God instructs and teaches him properly.

27For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
         Nor is the cartwheel driven over cummin;
         But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a club.

28Grain for bread is crushed,
         Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever.
         Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventually damage it,
         He does not thresh it longer.

29This also comes from the LORD of hosts,
         Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.
