Isaiah 14:21

Verse 21 of 32. The 14th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

17who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities, who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”

18All the kings of the nations sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

19But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.

20You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be named forever.

21Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.

22“I will rise up against them,” says the LORD of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says the LORD.

23“I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the LORD of Armies.

24The LORD of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

25that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
