23:028:018 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
23:028:019 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for
morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night:
and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
23:028:020 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on
it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in
it.
23:028:021 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be
wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his
strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
23:028:022 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made
strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a
consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23:028:023 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
23:028:024 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
23:028:025 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
23:028:026 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
23:028:027 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
