False security proves too small

19As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.

20For the bed is too short to stretch oneself out on, and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.

21For Yahweh will rise up as at Mount Perazim; he will be stirred up as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do his work—his strange work—and to perform his task—his foreign task.

22So now, do not scoff, lest your bonds be made stronger; for I have heard from the Lord GOD of Armies a complete destruction decreed against the whole land.
