19 But you have been (A)cast out of your grave
Like an abhorred branch,
[a]Clothed with those killed who are pierced with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the (B)pit
Like a (C)trampled corpse.
20 You will not be united with them in burial,
Because you have ruined your country,
You have killed your people.
May the (D)seed of evildoers not be called upon forever.
21 Prepare for his sons a place of slaughter
Because of the (E)iniquity of their fathers.
They must not arise and take possession of the earth
And fill the face of the world with cities.”

  1. Isaiah 14:19 Or As the clothing of those who are slain

19 But you are cast out(A) of your tomb
    like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,(B)
    with those pierced by the sword,(C)
    those who descend to the stones of the pit.(D)
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20     you will not join them in burial,(E)
for you have destroyed your land
    and killed your people.

Let the offspring(F) of the wicked(G)
    never be mentioned(H) again.
21 Prepare a place to slaughter his children(I)
    for the sins of their ancestors;(J)
they are not to rise to inherit the land
    and cover the earth with their cities.
