Ezekiel 17:13-18

13He took one of the royal 12family 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, 1415in Babylon he shall die.

1716Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not 17help him in the war, when they cast up ramps and build siege walls to cut off many lives.

18Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he 1819pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.’”
