Isaiah 28:29 This also comes forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. This last word of the chapter is very expressive. It literally means furtherance, help, salvation, and then the true wisdom or insight which ensures these: the wisdom which carries things through. It splendidly sums up Isaiah's Gospel to the Jews, cowering like dogs before the coming calamity: God is not mere force or vengeance His judgments are not chaos. But "He is wonderful in counsel," and all His ways have "furtherance" or "salvation" for their end. (Prof. G. A. Smith, D. D.)
