Ezekiel 17:13-16

13He took one of the royal 1 2family and made a covenant with him, 3putting him under 4oath. He also took away the 5mighty of the land,

14that the kingdom might 6be 7in subjection, not exalting itself, but keeping his covenant that it might continue.

15But he 8rebelled against him by sending his envoys to Egypt that they might give him horses and many 9troops. Will he succeed? Will he who does such things 10escape? Can he indeed break the covenant and escape?

16As I live,’ declares the Lord God, ‘Surely in the 11country of the king who 12put him on the throne, whose oath he 13despised and whose covenant he broke, 14 15in Babylon he shall die.
