The verse 21 is found in chapter 14 of Isaiah. Jacob’s restoration is placed immediately after Babylon’s fall, showing that the judgment of a power can become an occasion for the liberation of God’s people. The song against the king of Babylon describes his fall from a position of exaltation to humiliation. The section criticizes the attempt to elevate oneself to God’s level.

Richtet zu, daß man seine Kinder schlachte um ihrer Väter Missetat willen, daß sie nicht aufkommen noch das Land erben noch den Erdboden voll Städte machen.
Aparejad sus hijos para el matadero por la maldad de sus padres: no se levanten, ni posean la tierra, e hinchan la haz del mundo de ciudades.
Preparen para sus hijos el matadero por la culpa de sus padres, para que no se levanten, tomen posesión de la tierra y llenen de ciudades la faz del mundo».
Préparez le massacre des fils, A cause de l'iniquité de leurs pères! Qu'ils ne se relèvent pas pour conquérir la terre, Et remplir le monde d'ennemis! -
Preparate l’uccisione a’ suoi figliuoli, per l’iniquità de’ lor padri; acciocchè non si levino, e non posseggano la terra, e non empiano di città la superficie del mondo.
Preparai a matança para os seus filhos por causa da maldade de seus pais, para que não se levantem, e nem possuam a terra, e encham a face do mundo de cidades.
為了祖先的罪孽, 要預備他子孫的屠宰場, 免得他們興起,奪得全地, 使城市遍滿地面。」
