Isaiah14:20
20. 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, Cyropædia 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].
