And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?

The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
