English Standard Version
Ezekiel 17:13-18
13And he took one of the royal offspring and made a covenant with him, putting him under oath (the chief men of the land he had taken away),
14that the kingdom might be humble and not lift itself up, and keep his covenant that it might stand.
15But he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors to Egypt, that they might give him horses and a large army. Will he thrive? Can one escape who does such things? Can he break the covenant and yet escape?
16"As I live, declares the Lord God, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant with him he broke, in Babylon he shall die.
17Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in war, when mounds are cast up and siege walls built to cut off many lives.
18He despised the oath in breaking the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand and did all these things; he shall not escape.
