Ezekiel 17:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ No! For as I live,” says the Lord, “the king of Israel shall die. (Nebuchadnezzar will pull out the tree, roots and all!) Zedekiah shall die in Babylon, where the king lives who gave him his power, and whose covenant he despised and broke. ¹⁷ Pharaoh and all his mighty army shall fail to help Israel when the king of Babylon lays siege to Jerusalem again and slaughters many lives. ¹⁸ For the king of Israel broke his promise after swearing to obey; therefore he shall not escape.”
