Ezekiel 17:13-15
New English Translation
13 He took one from the royal family,[a] made a treaty with him, and put him under oath.[b] He then took the leaders of the land 14 so it would be a lowly kingdom that could not rise on its own but had to keep its treaty with him in order to stand. 15 But this one from Israel’s royal family[c] rebelled against the king of Babylon[d] by sending his emissaries to Egypt to obtain horses and a large army. Will he prosper? Will the one doing these things escape? Can he break the covenant and escape?
