Ezekiel 17:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ Then he selected a prince of the royal family and made a covenant with him, binding him under oath, and he deported the leading men of the land ¹⁴ so that the kingdom would be humble and submissive and be able to survive only by keeping his covenant and obeying him.

¹⁵ However, the prince rebelled against him and sent envoys to Egypt with a request for horses and a large army. Will he succeed? Can one escape who does such things? Can he break the covenant and remain unscathed?
