12“Say to this rebellious people, ‘Do you not know what these things mean?b’ Say to them: ‘The king of Babylon went to Jerusalem and carried off her king and her nobles,c bringing them back with him to Babylon.d 13Then he took a member of the royal family and made a treatye with him, putting him under oath.f He also carried away the leading meng of the land, 14so that the kingdom would be brought low,h unable to rise again, surviving only by keeping his treaty. 15But the king rebelledi against him by sending his envoys to Egyptj to get horses and a large army.k Will he succeed? Will he who does such things escape? Will he break the treaty and yet escape?l

16“ ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall diem in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke.n 17Pharaoho with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when rampsp are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.q 18He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledger and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.

19“ ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will repay him for despising my oath and breaking my covenant.s 20I will spread my nett for him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgmentu on him there because he was unfaithfulv to me. 21All his choice troops will fall by the sword,w and the survivorsx will be scattered to the winds.y Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken.z
