Ezekiel 17:16-21
16As I live,’ declares the Lord God, ‘In the 1country of the king who 2put him on the throne, whose oath he 3despised and whose covenant he broke, 45in Babylon he shall certainly die. 176Pharaoh with his mighty army and great contingent will not 7help him in the war, when they pile up assault ramps and build siege walls to eliminate many lives. 18Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he 89pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.’” 19Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: “As I live, My oath which he despised and My covenant which he broke, I will certainly 10inflict on his head. 20And I will spread My 11net over him, and he will be 12caught in My net. Then I will bring him to Babylon and 13enter into judgment with him there regarding the unfaithful act which he has committed against Me. 21All the 1415choice men in all his troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to every wind; and you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken.”
