Commentary on Isaiah 41:15

Theological / Devotional

Thresh the mountains. In the ancient Orient, sledges equipped with heavy spikes were drawn over the grain to thresh out the wheat (see Amos 1:3). Israel had been cruelly threshed by Assyria, and Babylon was similarly to come against Judah. But eventually the one threshed would become the thresher (see Jer. 51:2, 33; cf. 7:21, 22, 25, 27; Micah 4:13). The “mountains” represent the wicked powers of earth (see Jer. 51:25; Dan. 2:35).
