Isaiah 28:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ Your agreement with death
and the world of the dead
    will be broken.
Then angry, roaring waves
    will sweep over you.
¹⁹ Morning, noon, and night
an overwhelming flood
    will wash you away.
The terrible things that happen
    will teach you this lesson:
²⁰ Your bed is too short,
    your blanket too skimpy.^[a]
