18 Todos los reyes de los gentiles, todos ellos yacen con honra cada uno en su casa

Isaías 14:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:18

All the kings of the nations
Of other nations, besides those he governed, and even of those whom he had subdued, at least their ancestors, the greatest part of them however; for the word "all" does not always signify every individual, though by the repetition of it, it here bids fair for such a sense, there being but very few, or scarce any exceptions to this observation; for, on some account or another, both good and bad kings are interred in great state: [even] all of them lie in glory;
in rich tombs and stately monuments, erected for the honour of them; and where they "sleep", as the word signifies, with their fathers, their ancestors, and are at rest, in the state of the dead, where they will continue to the resurrection: everyone in his own house;
or grave, see ( Job 30:23 ) the same with his long home, ( Ecclesiastes 12:5 ) or the house of his world: in reference to which, the Targum paraphrases it by the same phrase here; and though their graves were not in their dwelling houses or palaces, yet often near them, and in their own country, and were what had been erected, or caused to be erected by them, in their lifetime.

Isaías 14:18 In-Context

16 Se han de inclinar hacia ti los que te vieren y te considerarán, diciendo: ¿Es éste aquel varón que hacía temblar la tierra, que trastornaba los reinos

17 Que puso el mundo como un desierto? ¿Que asoló sus ciudades? ¿Que a sus presos nunca abrió la cárcel

18 Todos los reyes de los gentiles, todos ellos yacen con honra cada uno en su casa

19 Mas tú echado eres de tu sepulcro como tronco abominable; como vestido de muertos pasados a espada, que descendieron al fondo de la sepultura; como cuerpo muerto hollado

20 No serás contado con ellos en la sepultura; porque tú destruiste tu tierra, mataste a tu pueblo. No será para siempre la simiente de los malignos
