Yesaya 28:27

28:27 Certainly ¹  caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge,

nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin seed. ² 

Certainly caraway seed is beaten with a stick,

and cumin seed with a flail.

Yesaya 46:4

46:4 Even when you are old, I will take care of you, ³ 

even when you have gray hair, I will carry you.

I made you and I will support you;

I will carry you and rescue you. ⁴ 

[28:27]  ¹ tn Or “For” (KJV, ASV, NASB).

[28:27]  ² sn Both of these seeds are too small to use the ordinary threshing techniques.

[46:4]  ³ tn Heb “until old age, I am he” (NRSV similar); NLT “I will be your God throughout your lifetime.”

[46:4]  ⁴ sn Unlike the weary idol gods, whose images must be carried by animals, the Lord carries his weary people.
