Ezekiel 17:14

so it would be a lowly kingdom which could not rise on its own but must keep its treaty with him in order to stand.

so that the kingdom would be brought low, unable to rise again, surviving only by keeping his treaty.

that the kingdom might be in subjection, not exalting itself, but keeping his covenant that it might continue.

so Israel would not become strong again and revolt. Only by keeping her treaty with Babylon could Israel maintain her national identity.

to make sure that this kingdom stayed weak--didn't get any big ideas of itself--and kept the covenant with him so that it would have a future.

So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants.

so that the kingdom might be humble and not lift itself up, and that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

‘that the kingdom might be brought low and not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

so it would be a lowly kingdom which could not rise on its own but must keep its treaty with him in order to stand.
