A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
This also--The skill wherewith the husbandman duly adjusts his modes of threshing is given by God, as well as the skill (Isa 28:26) wherewith he tills and sows (Isa 28:24-25). Therefore He must also be able to adapt His modes of treatment to the several moral needs of His creatures. His object in sending tribulation (derived from the Latin tribulum, a "threshing instrument," Luk 22:31; Rom 5:3) is to sever the moral chaff from the wheat, not to crush utterly; "His judgments are usually in the line of our offenses; by the nature of the judgments we may usually ascertain the nature of the sin" [BARNES].

This chapter opens the series of prophecies as to the invasion of Judea under Sennacherib, and its deliverance.

3 And [1161] not [3756] only [3440] so, but [235] we glory [2744] in [1722] tribulations [2347] also [2532]: knowing [1492] that [3754] tribulation [2347] worketh [2716] patience [5281];
31 And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036], Simon [4613], Simon [4613], behold [2400], Satan [4567] hath desired [1809] to have you [5209], that he may sift [4617] you as [5613] wheat [4621]:
24 Doth the plowman [02790] plow [02790] all day [03117] to sow [02232]? doth he open [06605] and break the clods [07702] of his ground [0127]?
25 When he hath made plain [07737] the face [06440] thereof, doth he not cast abroad [06327] the fitches [07100], and scatter [02236] the cummin [03646], and cast [07760] in the principal [07795] wheat [02406] and the appointed [05567] barley [08184] and the rie [03698] in their place [01367]?
26 For his God [0430] doth instruct [03256] him to discretion [04941], and doth teach [03384] him.
1 Through desire [08378] a man, having separated [06504] himself, seeketh [01245] and intermeddleth [01566] with all wisdom [08454].
14 Counsel [06098] is mine, and sound wisdom [08454]: I am understanding [0998]; I have strength [01369].
21 My son [01121], let not them depart [03868] from thine eyes [05869]: keep [05341] sound wisdom [08454] and discretion [04209]:
3 How hast thou counselled [03289] him that hath no [03808] wisdom [02451]? and how hast thou plentifully [07230] declared [03045] the thing as it is [08454]?
16 With him is strength [05797] and wisdom [08454]: the deceived [07683] and the deceiver [07686] are his.
6 And that he would shew [05046] thee the secrets [08587] of wisdom [02451], that they are double [03718] to that which is [08454]! Know [03045] therefore that God [0433] exacteth [05382] of thee less than thine iniquity [05771] deserveth.
26 For his God [0430] doth instruct [03256] him to discretion [04941], and doth teach [03384] him.
