Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 28:28

_ _ Bread corn — corn of which bread is made.

_ _ bruisedthreshed with the corn-drag (as contrasted with dill and cummin, “beaten with the staff”), or, “trodden out” by the hoofs of cattle driven over it on the threshing-floor [G. V. Smith], (Deuteronomy 25:4; Micah 4:13).

_ _ because — rather, “but” [Horsley]; though the corn is threshed with the heavy instrument, yet he will not always be thus threshing it.

_ _ break it — “drive over it (continually) the wheel” [Maurer].

_ _ cart — threshing-drag.

_ _ horsemen — rather, “horses”; used to tread out corn.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 28:23-29.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 28:28

Bruised — With a threshing instrument. Break it — Understand, forever. Horses — This was another way of threshing out the corn, by driving horses, or other cattle, over the sheaves to tread it.
