Ezekiel 17:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ ·The king of Egypt [^LPharaoh] with his mighty army and ·many people [vast horde] will not help ·the king of Judah [^Lhim] in the war. The Babylonians will build ·devices [ramps and siege walls] to attack the cities and to ·kill [destroy; cut off] many people. ¹⁸ The king of Judah showed that he ·hated [despised] the ·promise [oath] by breaking the ·agreement [covenant; treaty]. He ·promised to support Babylon [^Lgave his hand (in pledge)], but he did all these things. So he will not escape.

¹⁹ “‘So this is what the Lord God says: As surely as I live, I will ·pay back the king of Judah [^Lbring down on his head] for ·hating [despising] my ·promise [oath] and breaking my ·agreement [covenant; treaty].
