Ezekiel 17:11-16

11Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

12“Say now to the rebellious house: ‘Do you not know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Indeed the king of Babylon went to Jerusalem and took its king and princes, and led them with him to Babylon.

13And he took the king’s offspring, made a covenant with him, and put him under oath. He also took away the mighty of the land,

14that the kingdom might be brought low and not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

15But he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors to Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still be delivered?

16‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke—with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
