In context

24Will the plowman plow all the day? or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground?

25Does he not, when he has leveled the surface thereof, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, and barley, and millet, and bread corn in thy borders?

— Isaiah 28:26 —

27For the black poppy is not cleansed with harsh treatment, nor will a wagon wheel pass over the cumin; but the black poppy is threshed with a rod, and the cumin shall be eaten with bread;

28for I will not be wroth with you forever, neither shall the voice of my anger crush you.
