Isaiah 14:20-24
The Voice
20 Because you wrecked your own land and killed your own people,
your corpse will not share in the honor of a proper burial.
May the offspring of such evil never be mentioned again;
don’t speak their names or hear their tales.
21 Let them be obliterated because of their fathers’ wicked deeds
so that they never have a chance to follow in their steps,
Terrorizing and possessing the earth,
filling up the world with their cities!
Then people can live in normalcy and peace.
Eternal One: 22-24 I will move against Babylon and put an end to her future generations. I will cut them off—leaving no survivors—so that your oppressors will become nameless and faceless shadows. I’ll sweep that city with My broom of destruction and turn its pools into stagnant marshes and leave its ruins to be ruled by wild animals.
God swears that our oppressors will be punished. The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, makes this pledge.
Eternal One: Things will happen as I plan.
Things will be as I determine.
