Isaiah's amazing imagery

I'm going to try to keep this one a quick short thought. :)

Another of Isaiah's strengths as a writer is his imagery. In Isaiah 28:20 he says

"20. For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."

Can't you just see that? Someone trying to get comfortable on a bed that is too short for him? Or someone desiring to keep out the cold on a winter night with a blanket that doesn't make it around his whole body? He's referring to the atonement here. If we try to cover ourselves with anything but the atoning blood of Christ in our lives, we will find ourselves short and wanting.
