21 For the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim; as in the Valley of Gibeon he will be roused;to do his deed—strange is his deed!and to work his work—alien is his work!
22 Now therefore do not scoff,lest your bonds be made strong;for I have heard a decree of destructionfrom the Lord God of hosts against the whole land.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice;give attention, and hear my speech.
24 Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 When he has leveled its surface,does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,and put in wheat in rowsand barley in its proper place,and emmer as the border?
26 For he is rightly instructed;his God teaches him.
27 Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin,but dill is beaten out with a stick,and cumin with a rod.
