24 (NIV) When a farmer plows
for planting, does he plow continually? Does
he keep on breaking up and harrowing the soil? 25 When
he has leveled the surface, does he not sow
caraway and scatter cummin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barley in its plot, and spelt in its
field? 26 His God instructs him and teaches
him the right way. 27 Caraway is not threshed with
a sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over
cummin; caraway is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a stick. 28 Grain must be ground to make bread; so one does not go on threshing it forever.
Though he drives the wheels of his
threshing cart over it, his horses do not grind it.
29 All this also comes from the LORD Almighty,
wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom.
