Ezekiel 17:13-19

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.

17Pharaoh with his mighty army and great throng will be of no help to him in war, when ramps are cast up and siege towers erected, to cut off many lives.

18“Since he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he had given his hand yet did all these things, he will not escape.

19Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim: “As I live, surely I will bring on his head My oath that he has despised and My covenant that he has broken.
