This also comes from the LORD of Hosts
The phrase "LORD of Hosts" is a translation of the Hebrew "Yahweh Sabaoth," which emphasizes God's supreme command over the armies of heaven and earth. This title underscores His sovereignty and omnipotence, reminding us that all things, including the wisdom and counsel mentioned in this verse, originate from His divine authority. Historically, this title reassured Israel of God's protection and power, especially in times of national crisis. It is a call to trust in God's ultimate control over all circumstances.

who is wonderful in counsel
The word "wonderful" in Hebrew is "pele," which conveys a sense of extraordinary, miraculous, or incomprehensible. This suggests that God's counsel is beyond human understanding, filled with divine insight and purpose. The term "counsel" refers to God's guidance and plans, which are perfect and flawless. In the scriptural context, this reflects the wisdom God imparts to His people, guiding them through life's complexities with a plan that is both profound and benevolent.

and excellent in wisdom
The Hebrew word for "excellent" is "gadol," meaning great or mighty. This emphasizes the vastness and superiority of God's wisdom. "Wisdom" here is "chokmah," which in the Hebrew tradition is not just knowledge but the skillful application of knowledge in living a life that is pleasing to God. This wisdom is practical, moral, and spiritual, guiding believers in making decisions that align with God's will. Historically, wisdom literature in the Bible, such as Proverbs, echoes this theme, portraying wisdom as a divine gift that leads to a fulfilling and righteous life.

(29) This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts.--The force of the climax lies in the use of the highest of the Divine names instead of "God" (Elohim), as in Isaiah 28:26. The wisdom of the husband man was His gift in the highest aspect of the being that had been revealed to men, and that gift was in itself a parable of the method of His own government.

Verse 29. - This also (comp. ver. 26). This prudent dealing of the husbandman with his produce is the result of the wisdom implanted in him by God. The prophet goes no further, but leaves his disciples to draw the conclusion that God's own method of working will be similar. Wonderful in counsel (comp. Isaiah 9:6). Excellent in working; rather, great in wisdom (comp. Job 6:13: 12:16; Proverbs 2:7; Proverbs 3:21; Proverbs 8:14; Proverbs 18:1; Micah 6:9). Proverbs 8:14 is especially in point, since there the same two qualities are ascribed to God as in the present passage.
