Isaiah, Chapter 28, verses 17-22

¹⁷“I will make justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies
And the waters will overflow the secret place.

¹⁸“Your covenant with death will be^qcanceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
Then you become its trampling place.

¹⁹“As often as it passes through, it will^rseize you;
For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night,
And it will be^ssheer terror to understand^twhat it means.”

²⁰The bed is too short on which to stretch out,
And the blanket is too^usmall to wrap oneself in.

²¹For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon,
To do His task, His^vunusual task,
And to work His work, His^wextraordinary work.

²²And now do not carry on as scoffers,
Or your fetters will be made stronger;
For I have heard from the Lord^xGOD of hosts
Of decisive destruction on all the earth.
