Context Readings

The Downfall Of The King Of Babylon

18 The kings of the nations lie every one in his own house with worship, 19 and thou art cast out of thy grave like a wild branch - like as dead men's raiment that are shot through with the sword, as they that go down to the stones of the deep, as a dead corpse that is trodden under feet - 20 and art not buried with them. Even because that thou hast wasted thy land, and destroyed thy people. For the generation of the wicked shall be without honour, forever.
