Context of Isaiah 28:29

27Certainly black cumin is not threshed with a threshing board, and a cart wheel is not rolled over the cumin. But black cumin is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod. 28Bread grain is crushed, but is not threshed endlessly. Though the wheel of the farmer’s cart rumbles, his horses do not crush it. This also comes from the Lord of Armies. He gives wondrous advice; he gives great wisdom.

This also--The skill wherewith the husbandman duly adjusts his modes of threshing is given by God, as well as the skill (Is 28:26) wherewith he tills and sows (Is 28:24, 25).
