Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 14:20

20 Thou shalt not be joyned with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people : the seed of evil doers shall never be renowned .

Not in place; for so the Kings of several Nations did not use to be joyned in the same Sepulchre; but in Condition, not be buried as they are.

Thou hast exercised great Tyranny and Cruelty, not onely to thine Enemies, but even to thine own Subjects. Which it is more than probable Belshazzar did, and it is certain that his Parents and Predecessors had done, whose Sins contributed, together with his, to bring down God's Judgments upon that Empire.

Such as Belshazzar was, being descended from that Nebuchadnezzar who had made such horrid Slaughters and Devastations in the World, meerly to gratifie his own unsatiable Lusts, and who had been so impious towards God and his Temple, and so bloody towards his Church and People.

Or, shall not be renowned for ever. Although I have long born with thee and thy Family, and suffered them to get a great Name in the World, yet I will now put a period to the Renown of thy Family and Empire.
