¹⁷ who made the world like a desert
    and overthrew its cities,
    ^(A)who did not let his prisoners go home?’
¹⁸ All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
    each in his own tomb;^[a]
19 but you are cast out, away from your grave,
    like a loathed branch,
^(B)clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword,
    who go down to the stones of the pit,
    like a dead body trampled underfoot.
