Does the farmerplowcontinuallyto plantseed?Does he [continually] turnand harrowthe ground?
A timeto givebirthand a timeto die;A timeto plantand a timeto uprootwhat is planted.
Giveearand hearmy voice,Listenand hearmy words.
Does he not levelits surfaceAnd sowdilland scattercumminAnd plantwheatin rows,Barleyin its placeand ryewithin its area?
For thussaysthe LORDto the menof Judahand to Jerusalem,"Breakup your fallowground,And do not sowamongthorns.
