Isaiah 28:26 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 28:26

For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and] doth
teach him.
] God gives the husbandman instruction and discretion how to sow his seed, at what time, and in a proper place; for this refers to what goes before; though some think a new act is here intended, namely, threshing or beating out of corn, rendering the words, "and he" (the husbandman) "beateth it out, according to the discretion", or "judgment, his God teaches him" ^F8; which is expressed in general terms here, and is next particularly insisted on in the following verses ( Isaiah 28:27-29 ) .

Isaiah 28:26 In-Context

24 Does a farmer go on plowing every day so he can plant? Does he continue to break up the soil and make furrows in the ground?

25 When he has smoothed its surface, doesn't he scatter black cumin seed and plant cumin? Doesn't he plant wild wheat in rows? Doesn't he put barley in its own area and winter wheat at its borders?

26 God will guide him in judgment, and his God will teach him.

27 Black cumin isn't threshed with a sledge, and wagon wheels aren't rolled over cumin. Black cumin is beaten with a rod and cumin with a stick.

28 Grain is ground into flour, but the grinding eventually stops. It will be threshed. The wheels of his cart will roll over it, but his horses won't crush it.
