Ezekiel 17:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Thus it would be a lowly kingdom, not asserting its own interests but observing the agreement so that it would survive. ¹⁵ But the prince rebelled against him and sent messengers to Egypt to supply him with horses and a great army. Can such a person succeed? Can one who does these things escape? Can he overturn the agreement and escape capture? ¹⁶ As surely as I live, says the Lord God, he will die in Babylon, in the place of the king who gave him the authority to rule, whose solemn pledge he scorned and whose agreement he overturned.
