📚 Historical Context

Isaiah 28 is set in the 8th century BC, during a time when the nation of Judah faced threats from the powerful Assyrian empire, and the prophet Isaiah was warning against alliances with foreign powers and the pride of the leaders. In this chapter, Isaiah uses agricultural metaphors, like farming practices, to illustrate God's wise and just dealings with His people, contrasting human folly with divine wisdom. This verse serves as a concluding affirmation that all events and plans ultimately originate from the Lord.
