New International Version (NIV)

20The bed is too short to stretch out on,

the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.

20The bed is too short on which to stretch out,

And the blanket is too 28:20 Lit narrowsmall to wrap oneself in.

20The bed is too short on which to stretch out,

And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in.

20For the bed is too short to stretch out on,

And the blanket is too narrow to wrap around oneself [and likewise all their preparations are inadequate].

20Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on,

and the blanket too small to wrap around you.

20You will be like someone whose bed is too short to lie down on.

You will be like those whose blankets are too small to wrap themselves in.
