Context of Isaiah 14:22

20Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. 21Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith Yhwh of Armies, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith Yhwh. 23I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Yhwh of Armies. 24Yhwh of Armies hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
