Isaiah 14:18-20
International Standard Version
Isaiah 14:18-20
International Standard Version
18 All the kings of the nations lie[a] in state,
each in his own tomb.
19 But you are cast away from your grave,
like a repulsive branch,
your clothing is the slain,
those pierced by the sword;
those who go down to the Pit.[b]
Like a dead body trampled underfoot,
20 you will not be united[c] with them[d] in burial,
for you have destroyed your land,
you have slain your people.
People will never mention
the descendants of those who practice evil again![e]
