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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 20 is found in chapter 28 of Isaiah. Jerusalem’s leaders believe they have made a covenant with death, but Isaiah presents the stone laid in Zion as a secure foundation. The architect metaphor contrasts with the false security of human agreements. The “strange work” of divine action demonstrates that God is not limited by the strategic expectations of its rulers.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
