Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 14:19

Theological / Devotional

Cast out of thy grave. Because of the contempt in which the “king of Babylon” (see on v. 4) was held he would be denied a respectable burial (see 2 Chron. 24:25). During the 1000 years Satan, king of mystical Babylon, experiences a living death. About him are all the wicked dead, but he himself fails to find the peace of death. For him there is no relief from misery and remorse, no release from the horror he has brought upon the earth. He is, as it were, a living corpse for which a common grave would be too honorable an abode. Compare Isa. 14:9-11.

Stones of the pit. Compare v. 15.
