Isaiah 14:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 Who made the world like a (A)wilderness
And overthrew its cities,
Who (B)did not [a]allow his prisoners to go home?’
18 All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
Each in his own [b]tomb.
19 But you have been (C)hurled out of your tomb
Like [c]a rejected branch,
[d]Clothed with those killed who have been pierced with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the (D)pit
Like a (E)trampled corpse.

Isaiah 14:17-19
New King James Version
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who [a]did not open the house of his prisoners?’
18 “All the kings of the nations,
All of them, sleep in glory,
Everyone in his own house;
19 But you are cast out of your grave
Like an [b]abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
[c]Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
