Ezekiel 17:14-16

English Standard Version

¹⁴ that the kingdom might be humble and not lift itself up, and keep his covenant that it might stand. ^15 (A)But he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors ^(B)to Egypt, that they might give him horses and a large army. ^(C)Will he thrive? Can one escape who does such things? Can he ^(D)break the covenant and yet escape?

^16 (E)“As I live, declares the Lord God, surely ^(F)in the place where the king dwells ^(G)who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant with him he broke, in Babylon he shall die.
