16As I liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘SurelyH518H3808 in the 1countryH4725 of the kingH4428 who 2putH4427 him on the throneH4427, whoseH834 oathH423 he 3despisedH959 and whoseH834 covenantH1285 he brokeH6565, 45in BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191. 176PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH1419 companyH6951 will not 7helpH6213 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 89pledgedH5414 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 10inflictH5414 on his headH7218. 20I will spreadH6566 My 11netH7568 overH5921 him, and he will be 12caughtH8610 in My snareH4686. Then I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 and 13enterH8199 into judgmentH8199 with him thereH8033 regarding the unfaithfulH4604 actH4604 whichH834 he has committedH4603 against Me. 21AllH3605 the 1415choiceH4005 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.”
