Isaiah 28:18-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be beaten down by it.(A)
19 As often as it passes through, it will take you,
for morning by morning it will pass through,
by day and by night,
and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.”(B)
20 For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on it,
and the covering is too narrow to wrap oneself in it.
21 For the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim;
he will rage as in the valley of Gibeon
to do his deed—strange is his deed!—
and to work his work—alien is his work!(C)
Isaiah 28:18-21
New International Version
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.(A)
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(B)
you will be beaten down(C) by it.
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(D)
morning after morning,(E) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(F)
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(G)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(H)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(I)—
to do his work,(J) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
