Ezekiel 17:12 BBE

¹⁰  And if it is planted will it do well? will it not become quite dry at the touch of the east wind, drying up in the bed where it was planted?

¹¹  Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

¹²  Say now to this uncontrolled people, Are these things not clear to you? Say to them, See, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took its king and its rulers away with him to Babylon;

¹³  And he took one of the sons of the king and made an agreement with him; and he put him under an oath, and took away the great men of the land:

¹⁴  So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants.
