Isaiah 28 23-29

Yesha’Yahu 28:23-29

Listen and hear my voice;
pay attention, and hear what I say:
Does a farmer sowing keep plowing forever?
Does he never stop breaking up and harrowing his land?
No — when he finishes leveling it,
he scatters his dill-seed, sows his cumin,
puts wheat in rows, barley where it belongs,
and plants buckwheat around the edges;
because his God has taught him this,
has given him instruction.
Dill must not be threshed with a sledge
or cartwheels driven over cumin;
rather, dill one beats with a stick
and cumin with a flail.
When crushing grain for bread,
one doesn’t thresh it forever;
one drives the horse and cart wheels over it
but doesn’t crush it to powder.
This too comes from Adonai-Tzva’ot (God) —
his counsel is wonderful, his wisdom great.

Devotional

There would be a limit to how long God would punish His people and the timing of judgment and blessing resided in God’s hands.
