Ezekiel 17:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ The king of Judah showed that he ·hated [despised] the ·promise [oath] by breaking the ·agreement [covenant; treaty]. He ·promised to support Babylon [^Lgave his hand (in pledge)], but he did all these things. So he will not escape.

¹⁹ “‘So this is what the Lord God says: As surely as I live, I will ·pay back the king of Judah [^Lbring down on his head] for ·hating [despising] my ·promise [oath] and breaking my ·agreement [covenant; treaty]. ²⁰ I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my ·trap [snare]. Then I will bring him to Babylon, where I will ·punish [execute judgment on] him for the ·unfaithful acts [treachery] he did against me.
