Isaiah 14:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ “All the kings of the nations are buried with honor.
    Each of them lies in his own tomb.
¹⁹ But you have been thrown out of your tomb.
    You are like a branch that is cut off and thrown away.
You are covered with the bodies
    of those who have been killed by swords.
    You have been tossed into a stony pit along with them.
You are like a dead body that people have walked on.
²⁰     You won’t be buried like other kings.
That’s because you have destroyed your land.
    You have killed your people.

“Let the children of that evil man be killed.
    Let none of them be left to carry on the family name.
