And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
