20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
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, the Lord of Hosts, on the whole earth.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
24 Does he who ploughs to sow plough continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
25 When he has levelled 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 judgement, and teaches him.
