Isaiah 14:16-20

Isaiah 14:16-20 NCV

Those who see you stare at you. They think about what has happened to you and say, “Is this the same man who caused great fear on earth, who shook the kingdoms, who turned the world into a desert, who destroyed its cities, who captured people in war and would not let them go home?” Every king of the earth has been buried with honor, each in his own grave. But you are thrown out of your grave, like an unwanted branch. You are covered by bodies that died in battle, by bodies to be buried in a rocky pit. You are like a dead body other soldiers walk on. You will not be buried with those bodies, because you ruined your own country and killed your own people. The children of evil people will never be mentioned again.
