Isaiah 28:18-20

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.
