Ezekiel 17:13-16

13And hath takenH3947 of the king’sH4410 seedH2233, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and hath takenH935 an oathH423 of him: he hath also takenH3947 the mightyH352 of the landH776:1

14That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975.2

15But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?

16As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
