Ezekiel 17:16-18

International Standard Version

God will Punish the King

¹⁶ “As long as I live,” declares the Lord God, “in Babylon, that place where the king has enthroned him, whose oath he despised so as to break his covenant, he’ll die with him. ¹⁷ Pharaoh, with his massive army and large battalions won’t protect him when mounds and siege walls are built to destroy many people.^{[a] 18} He despised the oath he had made and broke the covenant. Look! Because he willingly submitted,^[b] yet he has done all these things, he won’t escape.
