18Your covenant with death will be dissolved,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand.When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be trampled by it.
19As often as it passes through,
it will carry you away;it will sweep through morning after morning,
by day and by night.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.
20Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and the blanket too small to wrap around you.
— Isaiah 28:18-20
