Job 28:5 Cross References

Job 28:5

5: Bread comes from the earth, but below the surface the earth is melted as by fire.

You cause grass to grow for the cattle. You cause plants to grow for people to use. You allow them to produce food from the earth--
wine to make them glad, olive oil as lotion for their skin, and bread to give them strength.

And God said, "Look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food.

Then God said, "Let the land burst forth with every sort of grass and seed-bearing plant. And let there be trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. The seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came." And so it was.
The land was filled with seed-bearing plants and trees, and their seeds produced plants and trees of like kind. And God saw that it was good.

You were in Eden, the garden of God. Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone--red carnelian, chrysolite, white moonstone, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald--all beautifully crafted for you and set in the finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created.
I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. You had access to the holy mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire.

Does he not finally plant his seeds for dill, cumin, wheat, barley, and spelt, each in its own section of his land?
The farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him understanding.
He doesn't thresh all his crops the same way. A heavy sledge is never used on dill; rather, it is beaten with a light stick. A threshing wheel is never rolled on cumin; instead, it is beaten softly with a flail.
Bread grain is easily crushed, so he doesn't keep on pounding it. He threshes it under the wheels of a cart, but he doesn't pulverize it.
The LORD Almighty is a wonderful teacher, and he gives the farmer great wisdom.
