24 Does the plowman plow the whole day to sow? He opens and harrows his ground!

25 Has he not, if he has made its face level, || Then scattered fitches, and sprinkles cumin, || And has placed the principal wheat, || And the appointed barley, || And the rye [in] its own border?

26 And his God instructs him for judgment, || He directs him.

27 For fitches are not threshed with a sharp-pointed thing, || And the wheel of a cart turned around on cumin, || For fitches are beaten out with a staff, || And cumin with a rod.

28 Bread-[grain] is beaten small, || For he does not severely thresh it forever, || Nor has a wheel of his cart crushed [it], || Nor do his hooves beat it small.

29 Even this from YHWH of Hosts has gone out, || He has made counsel wonderful, || He has made wisdom great!
