Isaiah 14:20

As for them who go down to the stones of the Pit, Thou shalt not be united with them in burial; For thy land, thou didst ruin Thy people, didst slay,—Unnamed to times age-abiding, Be the seed of the wicked!

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

In Context

19But, thou, art flung out from thy grave, Like a scion detested, Beshrouded with slain, the pierced of the sword, Like a carcase trod underfoot:

21Prepare—for his sons—shambles. For the iniquity of their fathers,—They shall not rise nor possess the earth, Nor fill the face of the world with cities.
