Isaiah 14:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”
In context
15 But you will be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.
16 Those who see you will stare; they will ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made the kingdoms tremble,
17 who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
19 But you are cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit like a carcass trampled underfoot.
