Isaiah 28:20
Arabic SVD 1865 Version (Smith and Van Dyke)
ما معنى هذا؟
Isaiah warns that the attempts of Israel to find comfort and security in their own plans are like trying to sleep in a bed that is too short or wrap oneself in a blanket that is too small. The key message is that God's ways are the only true source of rest and security.
شرح للأطفال
Imagine trying to sleep in a bed that's too short for you to stretch out in, or use a blanket that's too small to keep you warm. That's what Isaiah is saying about how Israel tried to find comfort without God's help. It's just not enough!
السياق التاريخي
The prophet Isaiah wrote this verse around 700 BC to the people of Israel. They were relying on their own strength and plans rather than on God, which was common in that time when many nations were unstable.

Today, this verse can remind us not to place our trust in our own efforts or plans for security. Just like a bed that's too short, our own efforts might not be enough to give us the peace we truly need.
