Ezekiel 17:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Say to the provoking house: Know you not what these things mean? Tell them: Behold the king of Babylon cometh to Jerusalem: and he shall take away the king and the princes thereof, and carry them with him to Babylon.

¹³ And he shall take one of the king's seed, and make a covenant with him, and take an oath of him. Yea, and he shall take away the mighty men of the land,

¹⁴ That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant, and observe it.
