Isaiah is speaking as if the leaders’ false security were the bed that is too short and the blanket that is too narrow. He means that their alliances and deceptions are completely inadequate to provide them protection. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [their alliances cannot protect them, and their agreements cannot keep them safe]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
