Isaiah 28:27

כִּ֣י לֹ֤א בֶֽ/חָרוּץ֙ י֣וּדַשׁ קֶ֔צַח וְ/אוֹפַ֣ן עֲגָלָ֔ה עַל כַּמֹּ֖ן יוּסָּ֑ב כִּ֧י בַ/מַּטֶּ֛ה יֵחָ֥בֶט קֶ֖צַח וְ/כַמֹּ֥ן בַּ/שָּֽׁבֶט
English Translation
For it is not by a sharpened tool that the ear of grain is threshed, and the wheel of a cart does not turn upon the grain, for with a rod the ear of grain is threshed and the grain with a staff.
