Ezekiel 17:14-18

14so that it would remain a humiliated country and be unable to regain its power. The country could only survive by keeping the treaty.

15But the king of Judah rebelled against the king of Babylon by sending his messengers to Egypt to get horses and many soldiers. Will the king of Judah succeed? Will anyone who does such things escape? He can’t break a treaty and go unpunished.

16“ ‘As I live, declares the Almighty Lord, the king of Judah will die in Babylonia. He will die in the country of the king who appointed him king of Judah. The king of Judah broke his promise and his treaty with the king of Babylon.

17Even with a large army and many people, Pharaoh will not be able to help him in battle when the Babylonians put up dirt ramps and set up blockades to kill many people.

18The king of Judah broke the promise and the treaty that he pledged to keep. He did all these things, and he can’t go unpunished.
