Isaiah 28:19-21
New American Standard Bible
19 As (A)often as it passes through, it will [a]seize you;
For (B)morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night,
And it will be [b]sheer (C)terror to understand [c]what it means.”
20 The bed is too short on which to stretch out,
And the (D)blanket is too [d]small to wrap oneself in.
21 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount (E)Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the Valley of (F)Gibeon,
To do His (G)task, His [e](H)unusual task,
And to work His work, His [f]extraordinary work.

New International Version
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(A)
morning after morning,(B) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(C)
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(D)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(E)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(F)—
to do his work,(G) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
