Isaiah 28:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For those lying refuges to which you trust will not be able to give you that protection and comfort which you expect from them, no more than a man can stretch himself (as these luxurious Israelites used to do, Amos 6:4) upon a bed which is too narrow for him, or wrap or keep himself warm with a covering or bed-clothes which are not large enough for him.

Isaiah 28:20

20 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.
