Isaiah 28:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ Your agreement with death will be erased.
    Your contract with death will not help you.
When punishment comes,
    you will be crushed by it.
¹⁹ Whenever punishment comes, it will take you away.
    It will come morning after morning.
    It will defeat you by day and by night.
Those who hear of this punishment will be terrified.”
²⁰ You will be like the man who tried to sleep
    on a bed that was too short for him.
And his blanket was too narrow
    to wrap around himself.
