Ezekiel 17:12 WBT

¹⁰  Yes, behold, [being] planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.

¹¹  Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

¹²  Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these [things mean]? tell [them], Behold, the king of Babylon hath come to Jerusalem, and hath taken its king, and its princes, and led them with him to Babylon;

¹³  And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath from 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 his covenant it might stand.
