20 Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on,and its cover too small to wrap up in.
21 For the Lord will rise up as He did at Mount Perazim. He will rise in wrath, as at the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work,and to perform His task, His disturbing task.
22 So now, do not mock,or your shackles will become stronger.Indeed, I have heard from the Lord God of Hostsa decree of destruction for the whole land.
23 Listen and hear my voice.Pay attention and hear what I say.
24 Does the plowman plow every day to plant seed?Does he continuously break up and cultivate the soil?
25 When he has leveled its surface,does he not then scatter black cumin and sow cumin?He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots,with spelt as their border.
26 His God teaches him order;He instructs him.
