Isaiah 14:17 Context
15Yet thou shalt be brought downe to hel, to the sides of the pit. 16They that see thee shal narrowly looke vpon thee, and consider thee, saying; Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdomes? 17That made the world as a wildernesse, and destroyed the cities thereof that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18All the kings of the nations, euen all of them lie in glory, euery one in his owne house. 19But thou art cast out of thy graue, like an abominable branch: and as the raiment of those that are slaine, thrust through with a sword, that goe downe to the stones of the pit, as a carkeis troden vnder feete.
