Exegesis
The verse begins with hurad {הוּרַ֥ד | hû-rāḏ} ‘has been brought down’, a Hofal perfect conveying passive state, followed by the coordinated nouns Sheol {שְׁאוֹל | šəʾōl} ‘Sheol’, geonekha {גְּאוֹנֶ֖ךָ | gəʾôneḵā} ‘your pride’, and hemyat nevalekha {הֶמְיַ֣ת נְבָלֶיךָ | hem-yāṯ nəḇāləḵā} ‘noise of your stringed instruments’ without conjunction, producing cumulative humiliation.
In context — Isaiah 14:11
Your pride is brought down to Sheol, together with the sound of your stringed instruments; a maggot is spread beneath you, and worms are your covering.
