^{23 Ref} Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:

^{24 Ref} The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth and harroweth his ground!

^{25 Ref} 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?

^{26 Ref} And instruct him for judgment doth his God, He doth direct him.
