Isaiah28:20
Ver. 20. For the bed is ſhort] Here the Prophet ſeemeth to ſome to threaten them for their lectulorum luxus, Amos 6.4. their beds of ivory, whereon, when well whittled, they once ſtretcht themſelves at full length, and ſlept out their drunkenneſs: but when brought to Babylon, the caſe ſhould be otherwiſe with them. Diodate faith that theſe are figurative and proverbial terms, importing that all means and devices they can uſe will no way defend them. Gods wrath is ſuch as none can avert or avoid.
