Isaiah 28:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 When he has leveled the surface,
does he not scatter caraway and sow cumin,[a]
Put in wheat and barley,
with spelt as its border?
26 His God has taught him this rule,
he has instructed him.
27 For caraway is not threshed with a sledge,
nor does a cartwheel roll over cumin.
But caraway is beaten out with a staff,
and cumin with a rod.
