Ezekiel 17:16-18
The Message
16-18 “‘As sure as I am the living God, this king who broke his pledge of loyalty and his covenant will die in that country, in Babylon. Pharaoh with his big army—all those soldiers!—won’t lift a finger to fight for him when Babylon sets siege to the city and kills everyone inside. Because he broke his word and broke the covenant, even though he gave his solemn promise, because he went ahead and did all these things anyway, he won’t escape.

Ezekiel 17:16-18
New International Version
16 “‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall die(A) in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke.(B) 17 Pharaoh(C) with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when ramps(D) are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.(E) 18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledge(F) and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.
