16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who1 made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
19 But you are cast out of your grave
Like an1 abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
1Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
Like an1 abominable branch,

Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
20 You will not be joined with them in burial,
Because you have destroyed your land
And slain your people.
aThe brood of evildoers shall never be named.
Because you have destroyed your land
And slain your people.
aThe brood of evildoers shall never be named.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children
aBecause of the iniquity of their fathers,
Lest they rise up and possess the land,
And fill the face of the world with cities.”

Lest they rise up and possess the land,
And fill the face of the world with cities.”
