Isaiah 28:22 Context
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. 24Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and breake the clods of his ground?
