Ezekiel 17:14-16
New English Translation
14 so it would be a lowly kingdom that could not rise on its own but had to keep its treaty with him in order to stand. 15 But this one from Israel’s royal family[a] rebelled against the king of Babylon[b] by sending his emissaries to Egypt to obtain horses and a large army. Will he prosper? Will the one doing these things escape? Can he break the covenant and escape?
16 “‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, surely in the city[c] of the king who crowned him, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke—in the middle of Babylon he will die!
