15 But you’ve been brought down to Sheol,to the deepest part of the pit.
16 Those who see you stare at you; they look at you closely and say,“Is this the man who made the earth tremble,who shook the kingdoms,
17 who made the world like a desert and tore down its cities,who didn’t let his prisoners go home?”
18 All the kings of the nations, all of them,have been buried with honor, each in his own tomb.
19 But you are thrown out of your tomb like a rejected branch.You are covered with those who were killed in battle.You go down to the stones of the pit like a trampled corpse.
20 You won’t be joined by the kings in the tomb,because you have destroyed your land and killed your people.The descendants of the wicked will never be mentioned again.
21 Prepare a place to slaughter their sonsbecause of their ancestors’ guilt.They won’t be able to rise, possess the earth,and rebuild cities all over it.
