14 so that the sovereigndom becomes lowly - that it not lift itself; to guard his covenant, so that it stands.
15 And he rebels against him by sending his angels into Misrayim, so that they give him horses and much people. Prospers he? Escapes he who works such? Or, breaks he the covenant and escapes?
16 I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh in the place of the sovereign who has him reign - whose oath he despises and whose covenant he breaks, dies he not with him midst Babel?
17 Not even Paroh with his great valiant and great congregation works for him in the war by pouring mounds, and building battering towers to cut off many souls:
18 seeing he despises the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he gives his hand to work all these; he escapes not.
19 So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I live! My oath that he despises, and my covenant that he breaks, give I not on his own head?
