Ezekiel 17:13-19

13He tookH3947 one of the royalH4410 12familyH2233 and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, 3puttingH935 him under 4oathH423. He also tookH3947 away the 5mightyH352 of the landH776,

14that the kingdomH4467 might 6be 7in subjectionH8217, not exaltingH5375 itself, but keepingH8104 his covenantH1285 that it might continueH5975.

15But he 8rebelledH4775 against him by sendingH7971 his envoysH4397 to EgyptH4714 that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and manyH7227 9troopsH5971. Will he succeedH6743? Will he who doesH6213 suchH428 thingsH428 10escapeH4422? Can he indeed breakH6565 the covenantH1285 and escapeH4422?

16As I liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘SurelyH518H3808 in the 11countryH4725 of the kingH4428 who 12putH4427 him on the throneH4427, whoseH834 oathH423 he 13despisedH959 and whoseH834 covenantH1285 he brokeH6565, 1415in BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.

1716PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH1419 companyH6951 will not 17helpH6213 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 1819pledgedH5414 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 20inflictH5414 on his headH7218.
