Isaiah 28:21-23
Expanded Bible
21 The Lord will ·fight [L rise up] as he did at Mount Perazim [2 Sam. 5:20].
He will be ·angry [rouse himself] as he was in the Valley of Gibeon [Josh. 10:10–14].
He will do his work, his ·strange [peculiar] work.
He will finish his job, his ·strange [unusual] job.
22 Now, ·you must not make fun of these things [do not mock; or stop your mocking],
or the ·ropes [or chains; bonds] around you will become ·tighter [or heavier].
The Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] has ·told me [decreed to me]
how the whole ·earth [land] will be destroyed.
The Lord Punishes Fairly
23 Listen closely to ·what I tell you [my voice];
·listen carefully to [pay attention to; heed] what I say.

New International Version
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(A)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(B)—
to do his work,(C) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(D)
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed(E) against the whole land.(F)
23 Listen(G) and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
