Ezekiel 17:16-21
16‘As surely asH518H3808 IH589 liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, ‘he will dieH4191 inH8432 BabylonH894, in the landH4725 of the kingH4428 who enthroned himH4427, whoseH834 oathH423 he despisedH959 and whoseH834 covenantH1285H854 he brokeH6565. 17PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and vastH7227 hordeH6951 will notH3808 helpH6213 himH853 in battleH4421, when rampsH5550 are builtH8210 and siege wallsH1785 constructedH1129 to destroyH3772 manyH7227 livesH5315. 18He despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285. Seeing thatH2009 he gaveH5414 his hand in pledgeH3027 yet didH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things, he will notH3808 escapeH4422!’
19ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: ‘AsH589 surely asH518H3808 I liveH2416, I will bring downH5414 upon his headH7218 My oathH423 thatH834 he despisedH959 and My covenantH1285 thatH834 he brokeH6331. 20I will spreadH6566 My netH7568 over himH5921 and catch himH8610 in My snareH4686. I will bring himH935 to BabylonH894 and execute judgmentH8199 upon himH854 thereH8033 for the treasonH4603 he committedH4604 against Me. 21AllH3605 his choiceH4015 troopsH1021 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and those who surviveH7604 will be scatteredH6566 to everyH3605 windH7307. Then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589, the LORDH3068, have spokenH1696.’
