Ezekiel 17:13–19

¹³And he shall take one of the king’s seed, and make a covenant with him, and take an oath of him. Yea, and he shall take away the mighty men of the land,

¹⁴That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant and observe it.

¹⁵But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses, and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper, or be saved? and shall he escape that hath broken the covenant?

¹⁶As I live, saith the Lord God: In the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he hath made void, and whose covenant he broke, even in the midst of Babylon shall he die.

¹⁷And not with a great army, nor with much people shall Pharao fight against him: when he shall cast up mounts, and build forts, to cut off many souls.

¹⁸For he had despised the oath, breaking his covenant, and behold he hath given his hand: and having done all these things, he shall not escape.

¹⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As I live, I will lay upon his head the oath he hath despised, and the covenant he hath broken.
