This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
not ... joined with them - whereas the princes slain with thee shall be buried, thou shalt not.
thou ... destroyed ... land - Belshazzar (or Naboned) oppressed his land with wars and tyranny, so that he was much hated [Xenophon, Cyropaedia 4.6, 3; 7.5, 32].
seed ... never be renowned - rather, “shall not be named for ever”; the Babylonian dynasty shall end with Belshazzar; his family shall not be perpetuated [Horsley].
