12 Son of man, say now to the provoking house, Know you not what these things were? Say to them, Whenever the king of Babylon shall come against Jerusalem, then he shall take her king and her princes, and shall take them home to Babylon.
13 And he shall take of the royal seed, and shall make a covenant with him, and shall bind him with an oath; and he shall take the princes of the land,
14 that it may become a weak kingdom, so as never to lift itself up, that he may keep his covenant, and establish it.
15 And if he shall revolt from him, to send his messengers into Egypt, that they may give him horses and much people; shall he prosper? Shall he that acts as an adversary be preserved? And shall he that transgresses the covenant be preserved?
16 As I live, says the Lord, verily in the place where the king is that made him king, who dishonored My oath, and who broke My covenant, shall he die with him in the midst of Babylon.
17 And Pharaoh shall make war upon him not with a large force or great multitude, in throwing up a mound, and in building of forts, to cut off souls.
18 Whereas he has profaned the oath so as to break the covenant, when behold, I engage his hand, and he has done all these things to him, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore say, Thus says the Lord: As I live, surely My oath which he has profaned, and My covenant which he has transgressed, I will even recompense it upon his head.
20 And I will spread a net upon him, and he shall be caught in its snare.
21 In every battle of his they shall fall by the sword, and I will scatter his remnant to every wind, and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken it.
