Ezekiel 17:19-21
Contemporary English Version
19 He made a promise in my name and swore to honor the treaty. And now that he has broken that promise, my name is disgraced. He must pay for what he's done. 20 I will spread out a net to trap him. Then I will drag him to Babylon and see that he is punished for his unfaithfulness to me. 21 His best troops[a] will be killed in battle, and the survivors will be scattered in every direction. I, the Lord, have spoken.
