Isaiah 28:28–29

28 Grain must be ground to make bread;

so one does not go on threshing it forever.

The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it,

but one does not use horses to grind grain.

29 All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,

whose plan is wonderful,

whose wisdom is magnificent.

28 Bread corn is bruised;

Because he will not ever be threshing it,

Nor break it with the wheel of his cart,

Nor bruise it with his horsemen.

29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts,

Which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

28 Grain for bread is easily crushed,

so he doesn’t keep on pounding it.

He threshes it under the wheels of a cart,

but he doesn’t pulverize it.

29 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher,

and he gives the farmer great wisdom.

28 Bread flour must be ground;

Therefore he does not thresh it forever,

Break it with his cartwheel,

Or crush it with his horsemen.

29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts,

Who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance.

28 The grain is ground to make bread.

People do not ruin it by crushing it forever.

The farmer separates the wheat from the chaff with his cart,

but he does not let his horses grind it.

29 This lesson also comes from the Lord All-Powerful,

who gives wonderful advice, who is very wise.

28 Bread grain is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it. 29 This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.

28 Bread corn is crushed, because he will not ever be threshing it; and if he drove the wheels of his cart and his horses over it, he would not crush it. 29 This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, great in wisdom.

28 Grain is ground into flour, but the grinding eventually stops. 

It will be threshed. 

The wheels of his cart will roll over it, 

but his horses won’t crush it. 

29 All of this has come from the Lord of Armies. 

His counsel is wonderful, and his wisdom is great. 

28 Bread grain is crushed,

but is not threshed endlessly.

Though the wheel of the farmer’s cart rumbles,

his horses do not crush it.

29 This also comes from the Lord of Hosts.

He gives wonderful advice;

He gives great wisdom.

28 Grain is crushed for bread,

but one does not thresh it forever;

one drives the cart wheel and horses over it

but does not pulverize it.

29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts;

he is wonderful in counsel

and excellent in wisdom.

28 Grain is crushed fine,

but certainly one does not thresh it forever;

and one drives the wheel of his cart,

but his horses do not crush it.

29 This also comes forth from Yahweh of hosts.

He is wonderful in advice;

he makes great wisdom.

28 Grain must be ground up to make bread.

A farmer separates it out.

But he doesn’t go on doing it forever.

He drives the wheels of a threshing cart over it.

But he doesn’t let the horses grind it to dust.

29 All of those insights come from the Lord who rules over all.

His advice is wonderful. His wisdom is glorious.

28 Grain for bread is crushed,

Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever.

Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventually damage it,

He does not thresh it longer.

29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts,

Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.
