Ezekiel 17:13 DBY

¹¹  And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹²  Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things are? Say, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king and its princes, and led them with him to Babylon.

¹³  And he took of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and he took away the mighty of the land;

¹⁴  that the kingdom might be abased, that it might not lift itself up, that it might keep his covenant in order to 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? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
