Isaiah 28:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 When it passeth over, it shall take you away: for it shall pass through every morning in the day and in the night, and there shall be only [a]fear, to make you to understand the hearing.
20 For the bed is [b]strait, that it cannot suffice, and the covering narrow, that one cannot wrap himself.
21 For the Lord shall stand as in mount [c]Perazim: he shall be wroth as in the valley [d]of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

New International Version
Isaiah 28:19-21
New International Version
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(A)
morning after morning,(B) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(C)
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(D)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(E)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(F)—
to do his work,(G) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
