Context of Isaiah 28:19

17Justice and righteousness will make that foundation strong and true. But if you trust in lies, a storm of ice will destroy your safe place. A flood of water will destroy the place where you are hiding. 18I will stop your covenant with death. Your agreement with Sheol will not continue. When trouble comes like a deep flood of water, it will drown you. A flood of punishment will come again and again, and it will carry you away. It will come every morning, and all through the day and the night.’ When you understand this message from the Lord, you will be very afraid. 20You will not be able to rest, like a tall person who tries to sleep on a short bed. Your blanket will not cover your whole body. 21But the Lord will do a great thing, like he did at Mount Perazim. He will be very angry, as he was in the Gibeon Valley. He will do something that is very wonderful and strange.
