Context of Isaiah 28:29

27For dill is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin. Rather, dill is beaten out with a staff, and cumin with a rod. 28Bread grain is crushed, but not endlessly. Rumbling cart wheels and horses over it would only crush it to powder. This also comes from Adonai-Tzva’ot: Wonderful is His counsel, great is His wisdom.

Afflictions are God's threshing instruments, to loosen us from the world, to part between us and our chaff, and to prepare us for use. God…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. 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).
