Ezekiel 17:11-16

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 leadersH8269, and broughtH935 them to him in BabylonH894.

13Then he 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,

14so that the kingdomH4467 would 9be humbledH8217, not exaltingH5375 itself, but keepingH8104 his covenantH1285 so that it might continueH5975.

15But 10he 11revoltedH4775 against 12him by sendingH7971 his messengersH4397 to EgyptH4714 so that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and manyH7227 13troopsH5971. Will he succeedH6743? Will he who doesH6213 theseH428 thingsH428 14escapeH4422? Can he indeed breakH6565 the covenantH1285 and escapeH4422?

16As I liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘In the 15countryH4725 of the kingH4428 who 16putH4427 him on the throneH4427, whoseH834 oathH423 he 17despisedH959 and whoseH834 covenantH1285 he brokeH6565, 1819in BabylonH894 he shall certainlyH518H3808 dieH4191.
