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 Shall the ploughman plough all the day to sow, shall he open and harrow his ground?

25 Will he not, when he hath made plain the surface thereof, soweth, and scatter cummin, and put wheat in order, and barley, and millet, and vetches in their bounds?

26 For he will instruct him in judgment: his God will teach him.

27 For gith shall not be thrashed with saws, neither shall the cart wheel turn about upon cummin: but gith shall be beaten out with a rod, and cumin with a staff.

28 But breadcorn shall be broken small: but the thrasher shall not thrash it for ever, neither shall the cart wheel hurt it, nor break it with its teeth.
