Isaiah 14:17 in Context — Isaiah 14

15 Mas tú derribado eres en el sepulcro, á los lados de la huesa.

16 Inclinarse han hacia ti los que te vieren, te considerarán [diciendo]: ¿Es este aquel varón que hacía temblar la tierra, que trastornaba los reinos;

17 Que puso el mundo como un desierto, que asoló sus ciudades; que á sus presos nunca abrió la cárcel?

18 Todos los reyes de las gentes, todos ellos yacen con honra cada uno en su casa.

19 Mas tú echado eres de tu sepulcro como tronco abominable, [como] vestido de muertos pasados á cuchillo, que descendieron al fondo de la sepultura; como cuerpo muerto hollado.
