18 Every king of the nations ·has been buried with honor [lies in glory],
    each in his own ·grave [L house].
19 But you are thrown out of your grave,
    like an ·unwanted [loathed; rejected] branch.
·You are covered by bodies [L Clothed with the slain]
    that ·died in battle [L were pierced with a sword],
    by bodies to be buried in a rocky pit.
You are like a ·dead body other soldiers walk on [trampled corpse].
20 You will not be buried with those bodies,
    because you ruined your own country
    and killed your own people.
·The children [or May the offspring/descendants] of evil people
    will never be mentioned again.

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.
