Ezekiel 17:15-20
15But 1he 2revoltedH4775 against 3him by sendingH7971 his messengersH4397 to EgyptH4714 so that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and manyH7227 4troopsH5971. Will he succeedH6743? Will he who doesH6213 theseH428 thingsH428 5escapeH4422? Can he indeed breakH6565 the covenantH1285 and escapeH4422?
16As I liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘In the 6countryH4725 of the kingH4428 who 7putH4427 him on the throneH4427, whoseH834 oathH423 he 8despisedH959 and whoseH834 covenantH1285 he brokeH6565, 910in BabylonH894 he shall certainlyH518H3808 dieH4191.
1711PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 contingentH6951 will not 12helpH6213 him in the warH4421, when they pileH8210 upH8210 assaultH5550 rampsH5550 and buildH1129 siegeH1785 wallsH1785 to eliminateH3772 manyH7227 livesH5315.
18Now he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, and beholdH2009, he 1314pledgedH5414 his allegianceH3027, yet didH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428; he shall not escapeH4422.’”
19ThereforeH3651, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “As I liveH2416, My oathH423 whichH834 he despisedH959 and My covenantH1285 whichH834 he brokeH6565, I will certainlyH518H3808 15inflictH5414 on his headH7218.
20And I will spreadH6566 My 16netH7568 overH5921 him, and he will be 17caughtH8610 in My netH4686. Then I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 and 18enterH8199 intoH8199 judgmentH8199 with him thereH8033 regarding the unfaithfulH4603H4604 actH4604 whichH834 he has committedH4603 against Me.
