King James Version
"For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."
— Isaiah 28:20, King James Version
“For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. ”
“For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.”
“For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap around oneself.”
“For the bed is straitened, so that one must fall out, and a short covering cannot cover both.”
“For the bed is not long enough for a man to be stretched out on: and the cover is not wide enough for him to be covered with.”
“For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.”
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
