17I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.
18Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it.
19As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
20Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket too small to wrap around you. 21For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.Cross References

Isaiah 28:19 Summary
[Isaiah 28:19 is a warning that God's judgment is coming, and it will be relentless and terrifying. The people are told that the scourge will pass through morning after morning, by day and by night, and that it will carry them away. This is a call to repentance and faith, as seen in (Isaiah 1:16-17) and (Joel 2:12-13), where the Lord calls His people to turn to Him and seek His face. As we reflect on this verse, let us remember that God's judgment is real, but His mercy and love are also real, as seen in (Psalm 103:8-12) and (Romans 5:8).]

From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 28:19
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you; as soon as this overflowing scourge or judgment shall go forth from me into the land, it shall assuredly, and with the first, take or seize upon you scoffers, or carry you away, which agrees well, both with the Hebrew word, which is frequently taken in that sense, and with the metaphor of a flood, which is here used. Morning by morning it shall pass over; it shall not only come to you, contrary to your presumption, , but it shall abide upon you; and when it hath passed over you, it shall return again to you, morning after morning; and shall follow you day and night, without giving you the least respite. It shall be a vexation only to understand the report; so dreadful shall the judgment be, that it shall strike you with great honor when you only hear the rumour of its approach, or of the sad effects of it upon other persons or parts of the land.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 28:19
Isaiah 28:19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only [to] understand the report.Ver. 19. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you.] This was opposed to their fond conceit of impunity, or at least immunity, for a long season; the most secure are soonest surprised. And it shall be a vexation, &c.] Vexatio dabit intellectum, Luther, after the Vulgate, rendereth it, sententiam prophetae non male exprimens. See Isaiah 26:9. The cross is the best tutor.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 28:19
(19) From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you.—The words that follow remind us of Deu 28:66-67. Day by day would come the dread rumours of the Assyrian march. Then the “report” would no longer be unintelligible. Instead of the “line upon line, precept upon precept,” there would be “mourning upon mourning,” “day and night,” each with its sad burden of alarming tidings. To understand those tidings would be a vexation and a terror. The word for “report” is the same as the “doctrine” of Isaiah 28:9, and stands, in each case, for the deride “message” of the prophet.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 28:19
19. From the time that it goeth forth] Render as R.V. As often as it passeth through (1 Samuel 18:30). it shall take you away] The judgment will be a protracted visitation (like the repeated blows of a “scourge”) and will continue till ever yone of the conspirators has been carried away. it shall be a vexation … report] Perhaps: it shall be sheer vexation to interpret audition (the same word as Isaiah 28:9). That is, all prophetic oracles shall then be so uniformly and unambiguously terrible, that the prophet will shrink from the unwelcome task of communicating their import.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 28:19
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you - It shall not delay, or be hindered, or put back. As soon as the judgment is sent forth from God it shall come upon you.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 28:19
19. From the time — Or, as often as it sweeps along, it shall bear you, false Jews, away. Morning by morning — Literally, morning, morning; a Hebraism for every morning, continually. Vexation — Alarm, consternation.
