The Grain of God's Floor
Most commentators agree that the phrase "my threshing" and "the grain of my floor" refers to God's people, Israel. While they are being afflicted and crushed by oppressors like Babylon, God still claims them as His own. Scholars see this as a term of tenderness, reminding the people that even in suffering, they belong to God and are precious to Him, like valuable grain.
