19. Whenever it passes, it shall seize you;morning after morning it shall pass,by day and by night.Sheer terrorto impart the message!
20. For the bed shall be too short to stretch out in,and the cover too narrow to wrap in.
21. For the Lord shall rise up as on Mount Perazim,bestir himself as in the Valley of Gibeon,To carry out his work—strange his work!to perform his deed—alien his deed!
22. Now, cease scoffing,lest your bonds be tightened,For I have heard a decree of destructionfrom the Lord, the God of hosts,for the whole land.
