Context of Isaiah 28:29
27For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod. 28Bread [corn] is crushed, because he will not ever be threshing it; and if he drove the wheels of his cart and his horses [over it], he would not crush it. This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, great in wisdom.
