Context of Isaiah 28:29

27Certainly caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin seed. Certainly caraway seed is beaten with a stick, and cumin seed with a flail. 28Grain is crushed, though one certainly does not thresh it forever. The wheel of one’s wagon rolls over it, but his horses do not crush it. This also comes from the Lord who commands armies, who gives supernatural guidance and imparts 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).
