Ezekiel 17:13-15
King James Version
13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?

Ezekiel 17:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 Then he took one of the royal [a](A)family and made a covenant with him, [b]putting him under (B)oath. He also took away the (C)mighty of the land, 14 so that the kingdom would (D)be humbled, not exalting itself, but keeping his covenant so that it might continue. 15 But [c]he (E)revolted against [d]him by sending his messengers to Egypt so that they might give him horses and many [e]troops. Will he succeed? Will he who does these things (F)escape? Can he indeed break the covenant and escape?
