Ezekiel 17:14-18

14That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 his covenantH1285 it might standH5975.1

15But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and manyH7227 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 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brokeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.

17Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 helpH6213 him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 siege moundsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:

18Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
