Bible verse
All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
Isaiah 14:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 14.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
15 But you will be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.
16 Those who see you will stare; they will ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made the kingdoms tremble,
17 who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
19 But you are cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit like a carcass trampled underfoot.
20 You will not join them in burial, since you have destroyed your land and slaughtered your own people. The offspring of the wicked will never again be mentioned.
21 Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the iniquities of their forefathers. They will never rise up to possess a land or cover the earth with their cities.
22 “I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon her name and her remnant, her offspring and her posterity,” declares the LORD.
