Isaiah 14:21-23
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
21 Prepare slaughter for his sons
because of the guilt of their father.[a]
Let them never rise to possess the earth
or cover the face of the world with cities.
22 I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts, and will cut off from Babylon name and remnant, offspring and posterity, says the Lord. 23 And I will make it a possession of the hedgehog, and pools of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, says the Lord of hosts.
