Isaiah 28:29

This also—The skill wherewith the husbandman duly adjusts his modes of threshing is given by God, as well as the skill (Isaiah 28:26) wherewith he tills and sows (Isaiah 28:24-25). Therefore He must also be able to adapt His modes of treatment to the several moral needs of His creatures. His object in sending tribulation (derived from the Latin tribulum, a "threshing instrument," Luke 22:31; Romans 5:3) is to sever the moral chaff from the wheat, not to crush utterly; "His judgments are usually in the line of our offenses; by the nature of the judgments we may usually ascertain the nature of the sin" [BARNES].

This chapter opens the series of prophecies as to the invasion of Judea under Sennacherib, and its deliverance.
