The bed is too short on which to stretch out, And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in.

There will be no place where you can rest, nothing to hide under.

bibleoremus Isa 28:20

For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on it, and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in it.

biblegateway Isa 28:20

¹ sn The bed and blanket probably symbolize their false sense of security. A bed that is too short and a blanket that is too narrow may promise rest and protection from the cold, but in the end they are useless and disappointing. In the same way, their supposed treaty with death will prove useless and disappointing.
