Isaias

15 But now shalt thou go down’into hell, and into the foundations of the earth.

16 They that see thee shall marvel at thee, and say, This is the man that tortureth the earth, shaking kings,

17 He that maketh the whole world desolate, <and his cities hath he destroyed,> those in (his) train hath he not loosed;

18 All the kings of the nations have lain down to rest in honour, each one in his own house:

19 But thou shalt be cast forth upon the mountains, like a loathed corpse; with many dead, that are thrust through with swords, that go down to Hell. Even as a cloke smeared with blood shall not be clean,

20 Even so‘neither shalt thou be clean, because thou didst" destroy my land, and didst slay my peOple; thou shalt not abide, no, not for ever, an evil seed.

21 Make ready thy children to be slaughtered for the sins of: thy father} that they may not rise up, and inherit the earth, and . fill the earth with wars.

22 And I will rise against them, saith the Lord of Hosts, and Α will destroy their name, and remnant, and seed: thus saith the Lord.

23 And I will make Babylon desolate, for hedgehogs to dwell ’ there; and it shall come to nought; and I will make it a <pit> of mire, unto destruction.
