18. Your covenant with death will be annulled,And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;When the overflowing scourge passes through,Then you will be trampled down by it.
19. As often as it goes out it will take you;For morning by morning it will pass over,And by day and by night;It will be a terror just to understand the report.”
20. For the bed is too short to stretch out on,And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
21. For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim,He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—That He may do His work, His awesome work,And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.
