Isaiah 14:16-21

16Those who see you will gaze at you, They will consider you, saying, ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,

17Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not permit his prisoners to return home?’

18All the kings of the nations, all of them lie [dead] in glorious array, Each one in his own sepulcher.

19But you [king of Babylon] have been cast out of your tomb (denied burial) Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced by the sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit [into which carcasses are thrown], Like a dead body trampled [underfoot].

20You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have destroyed your land, You have slain your people. May the descendants of evildoers never be named!

21Prepare a slaughtering place for his sons Because of the wickedness [the sin, the injustice, the wrongdoing] of their fathers. They must not rise and take possession of the earth, And fill the face of the world with cities.”
