18 —All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house;

19 but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, covered with the slain—those thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit: like a carcase trodden under foot.

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial; for thou hast destroyed thy land, hast slain thy people. Of the seed of evildoers no mention shall be made for ever.

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.

Let the offspring(G) of the wicked(H)
    never be mentioned(I) again.
