28:20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and the blanket is too narrow to wrap around oneself. 1
29:10 For the Lord has poured out on you
a strong urge to sleep deeply. 2
He has shut your eyes (the prophets),
and covered your heads (the seers).
5:27 None tire or stumble,
they don’t stop to nap or sleep.
They don’t loosen their belts,
or unstrap their sandals to rest. 3
38:15 What can I say?
He has decreed and acted. 4
I will walk slowly all my years because I am overcome with grief. 5
58:5 Is this really the kind of fasting I want? 6
Do I want a day when people merely humble themselves, 7
bowing their heads like a reed
and stretching out 8 on sackcloth and ashes?
Is this really what you call a fast,
a day that is pleasing to the Lord?
56:10 All their watchmen 9 are blind,
they are unaware. 10
All of them are like mute dogs,
unable to bark.
They pant, 11 lie down,
and love to snooze.
57:2 Those who live uprightly enter a place of peace;
they rest on their beds. 12
57:8 Behind the door and doorpost you put your symbols. 13
Indeed, 14 you depart from me 15 and go up
and invite them into bed with you. 16
You purchase favors from them, 17
you love their bed,
and gaze longingly 18 on their genitals. 19
57:7 On every high, elevated hill you prepare your bed;
you go up there to offer sacrifices.
14:18 20 As for all the kings of the nations,
all of them 21 lie down in splendor, 22
each in his own tomb. 23
13:16 Their children will be smashed to pieces before their very eyes;
their houses will be looted
and their wives raped.
14:11 Your splendor 24 has been brought down to Sheol,
as well as the sound of your stringed instruments. 25
You lie on a bed of maggots,
with a blanket of worms over you. 26
29:8 It will be like a hungry man dreaming that he is eating,
only to awaken and find that his stomach is empty. 27
It will be like a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking,
only to awaken and find that he is still weak and his thirst unquenched. 28
So it will be for the horde from all the nations
that fight against Mount Zion.
