Ezekiel 17:12-21
New King James Version
12 “Say now to (A)the rebellious house: ‘Do you not know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Indeed (B)the king of Babylon went to Jerusalem and took its king and princes, and led them with him to Babylon. 13 (C)And he took the king’s offspring, made a covenant with him, (D)and put him under oath. He also took away the mighty of the land, 14 that the kingdom might be (E)brought low and not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand. 15 But (F)he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors to Egypt, (G)that they might give him horses and many people. (H)Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still be delivered?
16 ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely (I)in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke—with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. 17 (J)Nor will Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company do anything in the war, (K)when they heap up a siege mound and build a [a]wall to cut off many persons. 18 Since he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and in fact (L)gave[b] his hand and still did all these things, he shall not escape.’ ”
19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “As I live, surely My oath which he despised, and My covenant which he broke, I will recompense on his own head. 20 I will (M)spread My net over him, and he shall be taken in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon and (N)try him there for the [c]treason which he committed against Me. 21 (O)All his [d]fugitives with all his troops shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be (P)scattered to every wind; and you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken.”

And lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

(D)I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

Message to Coniah
24 “As I live,” says the Lord, (B)“though [b]Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, (C)were the [c]signet on My right hand, yet I would pluck you off; 25 (D)and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose face you fear—the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of the [d]Chaldeans. 26 (E)So I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country where you were not born; and there you shall die. 27 But to the land to which they desire to return, there they shall not return.
28 “Is this man [e]Coniah a despised, broken idol—
(F)A vessel in which is no pleasure?
Why are they cast out, he and his descendants,
And cast into a land which they do not know?
