Isaiah 28:20-22
International Standard Version
Isaiah 28:20-22
International Standard Version
20 because the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and its blankets too narrow to wrap around oneself!
God is on Mount Perazim
21 For the Lord will stand upon[a] Mount Perazim,[b]
he will rouse himself in[c] the Valley of Gibeon;
to carry out his work—
his strange deed,
and to perform his task—
his alien task!
22 But as for you,[d] don’t start mocking,
or your chains will become tighter;
for I have heard from the Lord[e] of the Heavenly Armies about destruction,
and it is decreed against the whole land.

New International Version
Isaiah 28:20-22
New International Version
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(A)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(B)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(C)—
to do his work,(D) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(E)
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed(F) against the whole land.(G)
