19. As often as it passes through it will take you; for morning by morning it will pass through,by day and by night;and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.
20. For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on,and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21. For the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim; as in the Valley of Gibeon he will be roused;to do his deed—strange is his deed!and to work his work—alien is his work!
22. Now therefore do not scoff,lest your bonds be made strong;for I have heard a decree of destructionfrom the Lord God of hosts against the whole land.
