Ezekiel 17:15-20

15But he 1rebelledH4775 against him by sendingH7971 his envoysH4397 to EgyptH4714 that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and manyH7227 2troopsH5971. Will he succeedH6743? Will he who doesH6213 suchH428 thingsH428 3escapeH4422? Can he indeed breakH6565 the covenantH1285 and escapeH4422?

16As I liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘SurelyH518H3808 in the 4countryH4725 of the kingH4428 who 5putH4427 him on the throneH4427, whoseH834 oathH423 he 6despisedH959 and whoseH834 covenantH1285 he brokeH6565, 78in BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.

179PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH1419 companyH6951 will not 10helpH6213 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 1112pledgedH5414 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 13inflictH5414 on his headH7218.

20I will spreadH6566 My 14netH7568 overH5921 him, and he will be 15caughtH8610 in My snareH4686. Then I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 and 16enterH8199 into judgmentH8199 with him thereH8033 regarding the unfaithfulH4604 actH4604 whichH834 he has committedH4603 against Me.
