Isaiah 28:18-20
International Standard Version
Isaiah 28:18-20
International Standard Version
18 “Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol[a] will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
you will be trampled by it.
19 As often as it sweeps through,
it will carry you away,
for it will sweep by morning after morning in the day;
but understanding this message will bring sheer terror at night,[b]
20 because the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and its blankets too narrow to wrap around oneself!
