Ezekiel 17:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 As surely as I am the living Lord God, I swear that the king of Judah will die in Babylon, because he broke the treaty with the king of Babylonia, who appointed him king. 17 Even the king of Egypt and his powerful army will be useless to Judah when the Babylonians attack and build towers and dirt ramps to destroy the cities of Judah and its people. 18 The king of Judah broke his own promises and ignored the treaty with Babylonia. And so he will be punished!

Ezekiel 17:16-18
New International Version
16 “‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall die(A) in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke.(B) 17 Pharaoh(C) with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when ramps(D) are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.(E) 18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledge(F) and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.
