Ezekiel 17:16-20
Holman 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. 17 Pharaoh will not help him with his great army and vast horde in battle,(B) when ramps are built and siege walls constructed to destroy many lives. 18 He 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. 20 I 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)
