Ezekiel 17:12-21

Say
<0559> (8798)
now to the rebellious
<04805>
house
<01004>_,
Know
<03045> (8804)
ye not what these [things mean]? tell
<0559> (8798)
[them], Behold, the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
is come
<0935> (8802)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and hath taken
<03947> (8799)
the king
<04428>
thereof, and the princes
<08269>
thereof, and led
<0935> (8686)
them with him to Babylon
<0894>_;
And hath taken
<03947> (8799)
of the king's
<04410>
seed
<02233>_,
and made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
with him, and hath taken
<0935> (8686)
an oath
<0423>
of him: he hath also taken
<03947> (8804)
the mighty
<0352>
of the land
<0776>_:
{taken an...: Heb. brought him to an oath}
That the kingdom
<04467>
might be base
<08217>_,
that it might not lift itself up
<05375> (8692)_,
[but] that by keeping
<08104> (8800)
of his covenant
<01285>
it might stand
<05975> (8800)_.
{but...: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}
But he rebelled
<04775> (8799)
against him in sending
<07971> (8800)
his ambassadors
<04397>
into Egypt
<04714>_,
that they might give
<05414> (8800)
him horses
<05483>
and much
<07227>
people
<05971>_.
Shall he prosper
<06743> (8799)_?
shall he escape
<04422> (8735)
that doeth
<06213> (8802)
such [things]? or shall he break
<06565> (8689)
the covenant
<01285>_,
and be delivered
<04422> (8738)_?
[As] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
surely in the place
<04725>
[where] the king
<04428>
[dwelleth] that made him king
<04427> (8688)_,
whose oath
<0423>
he despised
<0959> (8804)_,
and whose covenant
<01285>
he brake
<06565> (8689)_,
[even] with him in the midst
<08432>
of Babylon
<0894>
he shall die
<04191> (8799)_.
Neither shall Pharaoh
<06547>
with [his] mighty
<01419>
army
<02428>
and great
<07227>
company
<06951>
make
<06213> (8799)
for him in the war
<04421>_,
by casting up
<08210> (8800)
mounts
<05550>_,
and building
<01129> (8800)
forts
<01785>_,
to cut off
<03772> (8687)
many
<07227>
persons
<05315>_:
Seeing he despised
<0959> (8804)
the oath
<0423>
by breaking
<06565> (8687)
the covenant
<01285>_,
when, lo, he had given
<05414> (8804)
his hand
<03027>_,
and hath done
<06213> (8804)
all these [things], he shall not escape
<04422> (8735)_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
[As] I live
<02416>_,
surely mine oath
<0423>
that he hath despised
<0959> (8804)_,
and my covenant
<01285>
that he hath broken
<06331> (8689)_,
even it will I recompense
<05414> (8804)
upon his own head
<07218>_.
And I will spread
<06566> (8804)
my net
<07568>
upon him, and he shall be taken
<08610> (8738)
in my snare
<04686>_,
and I will bring
<0935> (8689)
him to Babylon
<0894>_,
and will plead
<08199> (8738)
with him there for his trespass
<04603> (8804)
that he hath trespassed
<04604>
against me.
And all his fugitives
<04015>
with all his bands
<0102>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and they that remain
<07604> (8737)
shall be scattered
<06566> (8735)
toward all winds
<07307>_:
and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I the LORD
<03068>
have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
