Ezekiel 17:15-20

Ezekiel 17:15-20

[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?  [16] As I live,  saith  the Lord  surely in the place  where the king  dwelleth that made him king,  whose oath  he despised,  and whose covenant  he brake,  even with him in the midst  of Babylon  he shall die.  [17] Neither shall Pharaoh  with his mighty  army  and great  company  make  for him in the war,  by casting up  mounts,  and building  forts,  to cut off  many  persons:  [18] Seeing he despised  the oath  by breaking  the covenant,  when, lo, he had given  his hand,  and hath done  all these things, he shall not escape.  [19] Therefore thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  As I live,  surely mine oath  that he hath despised,  and my covenant  that he hath broken,  even it will I recompense  upon his own head.  [20] And I will spread  my net  upon him, and he shall be taken  in my snare,  and I will bring  him to Babylon,  and will plead  with him there for his trespass  that he hath trespassed  against me.
