In context

16They that see thee shall wonder at thee, and say, This is the man that troubled the earth, that made kings to shake;

17that made the whole world desolate, and destroyed its cities; he loosed not those who were in captivity.

— Isaiah 14:18 —

19But thou shalt be cast forth on the mountains, as a loathed carcass, with many dead who have been pierced with swords, going down to the grave.

20As a garment defiled with blood shall not be pure, so neither shalt thou be pure; because thou hast destroyed my land, and hast slain my people: thou shalt not endure forever— thou an evil seed.
