Isaiah 28:19

Isaiah 28:19

17 Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.

18 Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.

19 As often as it goes out it will take you;
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”

20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on,
And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.

21 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount ^aPerazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of ^bGibeon—
That He may do His work, ^cHis awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His¹ unusual act.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 28:18

Isaiah 28:20 >>

Pass over - It shall not only come to you, but it shall abide upon you; and when it hath passed over you, it shall return again to you, morning after morning; and shall follow you day and night, without giving you the least respite. The report - So dreadful shall the judgment be, that it shall strike you with horror, when you only hear the rumour of it.
