Isaiah 28:21

Isaiah 28:21

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.

22 Now therefore, do not be mockers,
Lest your bonds be ma¹de strong;
For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,
^aA destruction determined even upon the whole earth.

Listen to the Teaching of God

23 Give ear and hear my voice,
Listen and hear my speech.

<< Isaiah 28:20

Isaiah 28:22 >>

Perazim—In the valley of Rephaim (II Samuel 5:18, II Samuel 5:20; I Chronicles 14:11), there Jehovah, by David, broke forth as waters do, and made a breach among the Philistines, David's enemies, as Perazim means, expressing a sudden and complete overthrow.

Gibeon— (I Chronicles 14:16; II Samuel 5:25, Margin); not Joshua's victory (Joshua 10:10).

strange—as being against His own people; judgment is not what God delights in; it is, though necessary, yet strange to Him (Lamentations 3:33).

work—punishing the guilty (Isaiah 10:12).
