6In the morning sow your seed, and at evening awithhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.Isaiah 28:23-26

24Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 bWhen he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmer ▼
▼A type of wheat
as the border?26 dFor he is rightly instructed;
his God teaches him.

The Parable of the Seed Growing
26And he said, j“The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. 27He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; khe knows not how. 28The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29But when the grain is ripe, at once lhe puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”Luke 8:5-8
5 m“A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, nit withered away, because it had no moisture. 7And some fell among othorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded pa hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, q“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
