Hosea 10:12 commands 'break up your fallow ground' to seek the Lord—directly echoes the plowing metaphor.

In Mark 4:26, Jesus' parable of the growing seed directly parallels the farmer's sowing imagery here — both use agriculture for spiritual truth.

Jeremiah 4:3 urges 'Break up your fallow ground'—the same agricultural metaphor for spiritual preparation.

In 1 Corinthians 3:9, Paul calls believers God's field — an agricultural metaphor similar to the farmer's work here, applying it to spiritual growth.

2 Timothy 2:6 mentions the hard-working farmer getting first share — analogous to the diligent plowing and sowing described here.
