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.

    never be mentioned(I) again.
