In the context of <a href="/isaiah/28.htm">Isaiah 28</a>, God is portrayed as the ultimate teacher, imparting knowledge to those who seek Him. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God as the source of all wisdom, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/2-6.htm">Proverbs 2:6</a>, "For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." The agricultural metaphor in the surrounding verses emphasizes that just as a farmer relies on God's instruction for successful planting and harvesting, so too should people rely on God's guidance in their lives.<p><b>and teaches him properly.</b><br>The emphasis here is on the correctness and appropriateness of God's teaching. The Hebrew word for "properly" suggests a sense of justice and righteousness, indicating that God's instruction is not only wise but also morally sound. This aligns with the biblical portrayal of God as a just and righteous teacher, as seen in <a href="/psalms/25-9.htm">Psalm 25:9</a>, "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way." The context of <a href="/isaiah/28.htm">Isaiah 28</a> involves a critique of the leaders of Israel, who have failed to heed God's instruction, contrasting with the ideal of receiving and applying God's teaching correctly. This also foreshadows the perfect teaching of Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the "Teacher" in the New Testament, embodying divine wisdom and instruction.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name.
