Revised Version 1895
Ezekiel 17:11-18
11MoreoverH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559,
12SayH559 nowH4994 to the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, KnowH3045 ye notH3808 whatH4100 theseH428 things mean? tellH559 them, BeholdH2009, the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and tookH3947 the kingH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, and broughtH935 them to him to BabylonH894;
13and he tookH3947 of the seedH2233 royalH4410, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him; he also broughtH935 him underH935 an oathH423, and tookH3947 awayH3947 the mighty of the landH776:
14that the kingdomH4467 might be base, that it might notH1115 liftH5375 itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975.
15But he rebelledH4775 againstH4714 him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 intoH4714 EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doeth suchH428 things? shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and yet escapeH4422?
16As I liveH2416, saith the LordH136 GODH136, surelyH4191 in the placeH4725 whereH834 the kingH4428 dwelleth that madeH834 him kingH4428, whoseH834 oathH423 he despisedH959, and whoseH834 covenantH1285 he brake, evenH3808 with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
17NeitherH3808 shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH1419 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, when they castH8210 upH1129 mounts and buildH1129 forts, to cutH3772 offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315.
18For he hath despisedH959 the oathH423 by breaking the covenantH1285; and beholdH2009, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and yet hath doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things; he shall notH3808 escapeH4422.
