3. "Listen to this! Behold, the sower went out to sow;
4. as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up.
5. Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil.
6. And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7. Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop.
