Yesaya 28:29

28:29 This also comes from the Lord who commands armies,

who gives supernatural guidance and imparts great wisdom. ¹ 

Yesaya 46:10

46:10 who announces the end from the beginning

and reveals beforehand ²  what has not yet occurred,

who says, ‘My plan will be realized,

I will accomplish what I desire,’

[28:29]  ¹ sn Verses 23-29 emphasize that God possesses great wisdom and has established a natural order. Evidence of this can be seen in the way farmers utilize divinely imparted wisdom to grow and harvest crops. God’s dealings with his people will exhibit this same kind of wisdom and order. Judgment will be accomplished according to a divinely ordered timetable and, while severe enough, will not be excessive. Judgment must come, just as planting inevitably follows plowing. God will, as it were, thresh his people, but he will not crush them to the point where they will be of no use to him.

[46:10]  ² tn Or “from long ago”; KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV “from ancient times.”
