Ezekiel 17:13-16

13He took one of the royal offspring, cut a covenant with him, putting him under oath. He also took away the leading men of the land,

14so the kingdom might be lowly, not exalting itself, but keeping his covenant so it would hold up.

15“However, he rebelled against him in sending his messengers into Egypt, so they might give him horses and many people. Will he succeed? Will one doing such things escape? Will he break a covenant and escape?

16As I live”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“surely in the place of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, within Babylon he will die.
