Isaiah 14:21 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

21Prepare a place to slaughter his children

for the sins of their ancestors;

they are not to rise to inherit the land

and cover the earth with their cities.

21“Prepare a place of slaughter for his sons

Because of the wrongdoing of their fathers.

They must not arise and take possession of the earth,

And fill the surface of the world with cities.”

21Prepare for his sons a place of slaughter

Because of the iniquity of their fathers.

They must not arise and take possession of the earth

And fill the face of the world with cities.”

21“Prepare a slaughtering place for his sons

Because of the wickedness [the sin, the injustice, the wrongdoing] of their fathers.

They must not rise and take possession of the earth,

And fill the face of the world with cities.”

21Prepare a place to slaughter his sons

for the iniquities of their forefathers.

They will never rise up to possess a land

or cover the earth with their cities.

21So prepare a place to kill his children.

Kill them because of the sins of the rulers

who lived before them.

They must not rise to power.

They must not rule over the world.

They must not cover the earth with their cities.”
