Context of Isaiah 28:22
20For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow when he would wrap himself in it. 21For Jehovah will rise up as on mount Perazim, he will be moved with anger as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and perform his act, his unwonted act. Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts a consumption, and [one] determined, upon the whole land. 23Give ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. 24Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? Is he [all day] opening and breaking the clods of his land?
