¹⁵‘But he ^arebelled against him by sending his envoys to Egypt that they might give him horses and many ¹troops. Will he succeed? Will he who does such things ^bescape? Can he indeed break the covenant and escape?

¹⁶‘As I live,’ declares the Lord God, ‘Surely in the ¹country of the king who ²put him on the throne, whose oath he ^adespised and whose covenant he broke, ³^bin Babylon he shall die.

¹⁷‘^aPharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not ¹help him in the war, when they cast up ramps and build siege walls to cut off many lives.

¹⁸‘Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he ¹^apledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.’ ”

¹⁹Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “As I live, surely My oath which he despised and My covenant which he broke, I will ¹inflict on his head.
