19 But as for you, you are thrown away from your grave,
    like an abhorrent shoot,
clothed with the slain,
    those pierced by the sword,
those who go down to the stones of the pit,
    like a corpse that is trodden down.
20 You will not be united with them in burial
because you have destroyed your land,
    you have killed your people.

The descendants[a] of evildoers will not be mentioned for eternity!

21 Prepare a place of slaughter for his sons
    because of the sin of their ancestors.[b]
Let them not rise and take possession of the earth
    or fill up the face of the world with cities.”

19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
