This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Ver. 20. Thou shalt not be joined to them in burial,] i.e., To your equals, your fellow kings, in funeral state and pomp. Christians have an honest care, ðåñé óõíôáöùí , with whom they be buried, and where they are laid when dead, that as they lived together and loved together, so in their death they may not be divided. {2Sa_1:23}
Because thou hast destroyed thy {a} land.] Tyrannised over thine own subjects also. So did Saul, Manasseh, Herod - who butchered about Bethlehem fourteen thousand infants, as some affirm, and his own son among the rest - Tiberius, that tiger, Nero, that lion, Commodus, who was, saith Oresius, cunctis incommodus, Charles IX of France, &c.
The seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.] The house of the wicked shall be overthrown, but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish: {Pro_14:11} {See Trapp on "Pro_14:11"} Et notanto hoc parentes, et a sceleribus se abstinento: ni sibi velint parcere, ut posteritat; parcant.
{a} The Septuagint read it, my land, and my people.
