ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૨૮:૨૦
કેમ કે પથારી એટલી ટૂંકી છે કે તેના પર પગ લાંબો થઈ શકશે નહિ અને ચાદર એટલી સાંકડી છે કે તેનાથી શરીર ઢાંકી શકાશે નહિ.”
हिन्दीयशायाह २८:२०
क्योंकि बिछौना टाँग फैलाने के लिये छोटा, और ओढ़ना ओढ़ने के लिये संकरा है।

In context

18Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.

19As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”

20For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.

21For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.

22Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, GOD of Armies, on the whole earth.
