Isaiah 14:18–20

18 “All the kings of the nations,

All of them, sleep in glory,

Everyone in his own house;

19 But you are cast out of your grave

Like an 7abominable branch,

Like the garment of those who are slain,

8Thrust through with a sword,

Who go down to the stones of the pit,

Like a corpse trodden underfoot.

20 You will not be joined with them in burial,

Because you have destroyed your land

And slain your people.

sThe brood of evildoers shall never be named.

each in his own tomb.

with those pierced by the sword,

for you have destroyed your land

and killed your people.

Let the offspring of the wicked

never be mentioned again.

Because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people:

The seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

because you ruined your own country

and killed your own people.

The children of evil people

will never be mentioned again.
