Ezekiel 17:11-21
11Moreover, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 12“SayH559 nowH4994 to the 1rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, ‘Do you not 2knowH3045 whatH4100 theseH428 thingsH428 mean?’ SayH559, ‘BeholdH2009, the 3kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, tookH3947 its kingH4428 and princesH8269 and broughtH935 them to him in BabylonH894. 13He tookH3947 one of the royalH4410 45familyH2233 and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, 6puttingH935 him under 7oathH423. He also tookH3947 away the 8mightyH352 of the landH776, 14that the kingdomH4467 might 9be 10in subjectionH8217, not exaltingH5375 itself, but keepingH8104 his covenantH1285 that it might continueH5975. 15But he 11rebelledH4775 against him by sendingH7971 his envoysH4397 to EgyptH4714 that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and manyH7227 12troopsH5971. Will he succeedH6743? Will he who doesH6213 suchH428 thingsH428 13escapeH4422? Can he indeed breakH6565 the covenantH1285 and escapeH4422? 16As I liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘SurelyH518H3808 in the 14countryH4725 of the kingH4428 who 15putH4427 him on the throneH4427, whoseH834 oathH423 he 16despisedH959 and whoseH834 covenantH1285 he brokeH6565, 1718in BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191. 1719PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH1419 companyH6951 will not 20helpH6213 him in the warH4421, when they castH8210 up rampsH5550 and buildH1129 siegeH1785 wallsH1785 to cutH3772 offH3772 manyH7227 livesH5315. 18Now he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, and beholdH2009, he 2122pledgedH5414 his allegianceH3027, yet didH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428; he shall not escapeH4422.’” 19ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “As I liveH2416, surelyH518H3808 My oathH423 whichH834 he despisedH959 and My covenantH1285 whichH834 he brokeH6565, I will 23inflictH5414 on his headH7218. 20I will spreadH6566 My 24netH7568 overH5921 him, and he will be 25caughtH8610 in My snareH4686. Then I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 and 26enterH8199 into judgmentH8199 with him thereH8033 regarding the unfaithfulH4604 actH4604 whichH834 he has committedH4603 against Me. 21AllH3605 the 2728choiceH4005 menH4005 in allH3605 his troopsH102 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and the survivorsH7604 will be scatteredH6566 to everyH3605 windH7307; and you will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696.”
