SCRIPTURE

"For his God doth instruct him aright, [and] doth teach him." — Isaiah 28:26 (ASV)

For his God does instruct him to discretion, [and] does teach him. God gives the husbandman instruction and discretion how to sow his seed, at what time, and in a proper place; for this refers to what goes before; though some think a new act is here intended, namely, threshing or beating out of corn, rendering the words, "and he" (the husbandman) "beateth it out, according to the discretion", or "judgment, his God teaches him" F8; which is expressed in general terms here, and is next particularly insisted on in the following verses (Isaiah 28:27–29).
