16 As I live,’ declares the Lord God, ‘In the [a]country of the king who [b]put him on the throne, whose oath he (A)despised and whose covenant he broke, [c](B)in Babylon he shall certainly die. 17 (C)Pharaoh with his mighty army and great contingent will not [d]help him in the war, when they pile up assault ramps and build siege walls to eliminate many lives. 18 Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he [e](D)pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.’”
