Ezekiel 17:15-21

Ezekiel 17:15-21 TPT

But he rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar and sent envoys to Egypt to procure himself horses and a large army. Will he get away with that? Will a man who has done this go unpunished? Will he break the treaty and still escape? As surely as I, Lord YAHWEH, live, this king will die in Babylon! He will die in the country of the king who put him on the throne, because he despised his oath and broke the treaty he had made. Despite Pharaoh’s mighty army and numerous troops, he will not be able to save him in war. When the Babylonians build siege ramps and wooden towers to kill many in the city, the Egyptians will not lift a finger to help! For he despised his oath by breaking the treaty to which he had pledged himself, and he will not go unpunished. “ ‘Therefore, I, Lord YAHWEH, decree, as surely as I live, I swear it. It was my oath that he has despised and my treaty which he has broken. I will punish him for this! I will throw my net over him and trap him in it. I will take him to Babylon and render judgment against him there for all the wicked things he did against me. All his elite troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered in every direction. And then you will know that I, YAHWEH, have decreed it.’ ”
