21 The Lord will fiercely attackas he did at Mount Perazimand in Gibeon Valley.But this time the Lordwill do something surprising,not what you expect.
22 So you had better stop sneeringor you will be in worse shapethan ever before.I heard the Lord All-Powerfulthreaten the whole countrywith destruction.
23 Pay close attentionto what I am saying.
24 Farmers don't just ploughand break up the ground.
25 When a field is ready,they scatter the seedsof dill and cumin;they plant the seedsof wheat and barleyin the proper places.
26 They learn this from their God.
27 After dill and cuminhave been harvested,the stalks are beaten,not run over with a wagon.
