Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶“‘As I live—this is the declaration of the Lord God—he will die in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne,^(A) whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke. ¹⁷Pharaoh with his mighty army and vast company will not help him in battle,^(B) when ramps are built and siege walls constructed to destroy many lives. ¹⁸He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. He did all these things even though he gave his hand in pledge.^(C) He will not escape!

¹⁹“‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: As I live, I will bring down on his head my oath that he despised and my covenant that he broke. ²⁰I will spread my net over him,^(D) and he will be caught in my snare.^(E) I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgment on him there for the treachery he committed against me.^(F)
