Isaiah 28:21 Context
19From the time that it goeth forth, it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it passe ouer, by day and by night, and it shalbe a vexation, onely to vnderstand the report. 20For the bed is shorter, then that a man can stretch himselfe on it: and the couering narrower, then that he can wrap himselfe in it. 21For the Lord shall rise vp as in mount Perazim, he shalbe wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may doe his worke, his strange worke; and bring to passe his act, his strange act. 22Now therefore be yee not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I haue heard from the Lord God of hostes a consumption euen determined vpon the whole earth. 23¶ Giue yee eare, and heare my voyce, hearken and heare my speach.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 28:21
28:21 Perazim - Where he fought against the Philistines, #2Sam 5:20|. Gibeon - Where he fought against the Canaanites, #Josh 10:10|, &c. and afterwards against the Philistines, #1Chron 14:16|. Strange work - For this work of bringing total destruction upon Israel, was contrary to the benignity of his own nature, and to the usual way of dealing with his people.
