The Downfall Of The King Of Babylon

18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19 But you are cast out of your grave like a hateful branch, and like the clothing of those who are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trampled under foot. 20 You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you ruined your land and killed your people; the seed of evildoers shall never be famous.
