Ezekiel 17:13-15

New Life Version

¹³ He took one of the king’s family and made an agreement with him. And he made him promise to keep it. He also took away the strong leaders of the land, ¹⁴ so that the nation would be under his power and not become strong again. It could only last by keeping his agreement. ¹⁵ But the king of Judah turned against him by sending his men to Egypt to get horses and a large army for him. Will it go well for him? Can he get away with that? Can he break the agreement and not be punished?
