Ezekiel 17:16-21

16As I live, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, surely in the placeH4725 whereH834 the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4428, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brake, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191. 17Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mighty armyH2428 and greatH1419 companyH6951 help him in the warH4421, when they cast up mounds and buildH1129 forts, to cutH3772 off manyH7227 personsH5315. 18For he hath despisedH959 the oathH423 by breaking the covenantH1285; and behold, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and yet hath done all these thingsH428; he shall not escapeH4422. 19ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: As I live, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own headH7218. 20And I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894, and will enter into judgmentH8199 with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me. 21And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and they that remainH7604 shall be scatteredH6566 toward every windH7307: and ye shall knowH3045 that I, Jehovah, have spokenH1696 it.
