Isaiah 28:24 in context

Isaiah 28:21–27

21

For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.

22

Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, GOD of Armies, on the whole earth.

23

Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!

24
Selected verse

Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?

25

When he has leveled its surface, doesn’t he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?

26

For his God instructs him in right judgment and teaches him.

27

For the dill isn’t threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
