The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth and harroweth his ground!
A time to bring forth, And a time to die. A time to plant, And a time to eradicate the planted.
Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
Hath he not, if he have made level its face, Then scattered fitches, and cummin sprinkle, And hath placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rie `in' its own border?
For thus said Jehovah, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow unto the thorns.
