Isaiah 14:19-21
International Standard Version
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.[a]
Like a dead body trampled underfoot,
20 you will not be united[b] with them[c] 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![d]
21 Prepare a massacre for his sons
because of the guilt of their forefathers!
They are not to rise and inherit the earth,
and cover[e] the surface of the world with cities.”
