Isaiah 14:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁷ who made the world like a desert
    and overthrew its cities,
    who would not let his prisoners go home?”^(A)
18 All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
    each in his own tomb,
¹⁹ but you are cast out, away from your grave,
    like loathsome carrion,^[a]
clothed with the dead, those pierced by the sword,
    who go down to the stones of the Pit
    like a corpse trampled underfoot.^(B)
