Isaiah 28:21-22

Context

28:21 For the Lord will rise up, as he did at Mount Perazim, 1 

he will rouse himself, as he did in the Valley of Gibeon, 2 

to accomplish his work,

his peculiar work,

to perform his task,

his strange task. 3 

28:22 So now, do not mock,

or your chains will become heavier!

For I have heard a message about decreed destruction,

from the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, against the entire land. 4
