Isaiah 14:15-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ But you are brought down to Sheol,
    to the depths of the Pit.
¹⁶ Those who see you will stare at you,
    and ponder over you:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
    who shook kingdoms,
¹⁷ who made the world like a desert
    and overthrew its cities,
    who did not let his prisoners go home?’
¹⁸ All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
    each in his own tomb;
¹⁹ but you are cast out, away from your sepulchre,
    like a loathed untimely birth,^[a]
clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword,
    who go down to the stones of the Pit,
    like a dead body trodden under foot.
²⁰ You will not be joined with them in burial,
    because you have destroyed your land,
    you have slain your people.
