Isaiah 14:18-20
Contemporary English Version
18 When kings die, they are buried
in glorious tombs.
19 But you will be left unburied,
just another dead body
lying underfoot
like a broken branch.
You will be one of many
killed in battle and gone down
to the deep rocky pit.[a]
20 You won't be buried with kings;
you ruined your country
and murdered your people.
You evil monster!
We hope that your family
will be forgotten forever.

Isaiah 14:18-20
New International Version
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state,
each in his own tomb.(A)
19 But you are cast out(B) of your tomb
like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,(C)
with those pierced by the sword,(D)
those who descend to the stones of the pit.(E)
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20 you will not join them in burial,(F)
for you have destroyed your land
and killed your people.
