“For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cumin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cumin with a rod. Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.” Isaiah 28:23-29. {CT 314.2}

»Thi med tærskeslæde knuser man ikke dild, lader ikke vognhjul gå over kommen; nej, dilden tærskes med stok og kommen med kæp. Mon brødkorn knuses? Nej, dette bliver ingen ved med at tærske; vognhjul og heste drives derover man knuser det ikke. Også dette kommer fra Hærskares Herre, underfuld i råd og stor i visdom.« Esajas 28,23-29.
