Ezekiel 17:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ so that the kingdom would be humble and submissive and be able to survive only by keeping his covenant and obeying him.

¹⁵ However, the prince rebelled against him and sent envoys to Egypt with a request for horses and a large army. Will he succeed? Can one escape who does such things? Can he break the covenant and remain unscathed?

¹⁶ As I live, says the Lord God, I swear that that man will die in Babylon, in the country of the king who appointed him to rule, whose oath he forsook and whose covenant he broke.
