Isaiah 14:18 meaning and explanation

All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.

Isaiah 14:18, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

This verse sits inside a taunt song that Israel sings over the fallen king of Babylon, once his oppression has ended. The line is a contrast: other kings of the nations die with honor, each lying in his own tomb, but the tyrant of verses 19 to 20 will be denied burial and cast out like a corpse.
