Isaiah 28:19-21
International Standard Version
19 As often as it sweeps through,
it will carry you away,
for it will sweep by morning after morning in the day;
but understanding this message will bring sheer terror at night,[a]
20 because the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and its blankets too narrow to wrap around oneself!
God is on Mount Perazim
21 For the Lord will stand upon[b] Mount Perazim,[c]
he will rouse himself in[d] the Valley of Gibeon;
to carry out his work—
his strange deed,
and to perform his task—
his alien task!
