Isaiah 28:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ The treaty you have made with death will be abolished, and your agreement with the world of the dead will be canceled. When disaster sweeps down, you will be overcome. ¹⁹ It will strike you again and again, morning after morning. You will have to bear it day and night. Each new message from God will bring new terror! ²⁰ You will be like the person in the proverb, who tries to sleep in a bed too short to stretch out on, with a blanket too narrow to wrap himself in.
