Isaiah 14:16-19

King James Version

¹⁶They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

¹⁷That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

¹⁸All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

¹⁹But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

New International Version

¹⁶Those who see you stare at you,
    they ponder your fate:^(A)
“Is this the man who shook^(B) the earth
    and made kingdoms tremble,
¹⁷the man who made the world a wilderness,^(C)
    who overthrew^(D) its cities
    and would not let his captives go home?”^(E)

¹⁸All the kings of the nations lie in state,
    each in his own tomb.^(F)
¹⁹But you are cast out^(G) of your tomb
    like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,^(H)
    with those pierced by the sword,^(I)
    those who descend to the stones of the pit.^(J)
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,

Isaiah 14:16-19

New King James Version

¹⁶“Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
¹⁷Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who ^[a]did not open the house of his prisoners?’

¹⁸“All the kings of the nations,
All of them, sleep in glory,
Everyone in his own house;
¹⁹But you are cast out of your grave
Like an ^[b]abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
^[c]Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
