"Give ye ear, and hear my voice ; hearken, and hear my speech. 

 Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he con- 

 tinually open and harrow his ground ? When he hath levelled 

 the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and 

 scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the 

 harley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border 

 thereof? For his God doth instruct him aright, and doth 

 teach him. For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp 

 threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about 

 upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, 

 and the cummin with a rod. Bread grain is ground; for 

 he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of 

 his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it. Thia 

 also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts, who is wonderful 

 in counsel, and excellent in wisdom." 



Isaiah 28: 23-29. Am. R. V.
