Isaiah 14:15-19 ▼

15 “But [in fact] you will be brought down to Sheol, To the remote recesses of the pit (the region of the dead).

16 “Those who see you will gaze at you, They will consider you, saying, ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,

17 Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not permit his prisoners to return home?’

18 “All the kings of the nations, all of them lie [dead] in glorious array, Each one in his own sepulcher.

19 “But you [king of Babylon] have been cast out of your tomb (denied burial) Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced by the sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit [into which carcasses are thrown], Like a dead body trampled [underfoot].
