Ezekiel 17:13-16

Ezekiel 17:13-16 CSB

He took one of the royal family  and made a covenant with him, putting him under oath.  Then he took away the leading men of the land, so that the kingdom would be humble and not exalt itself  but would keep his covenant in order to endure. However, this king revolted against him  by sending his ambassadors to Egypt so they might give him horses and a large army.  Will he flourish? Will the one who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still escape? “ ‘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,  whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke.
