LEB(i)
13 And he took from the seed of the kingship, and he made with him a covenant, and ⌊he brought him under oath⌋,* and he took the rulers of the land,
14 so that they would be a humble kingdom and not lift itself up to keep his covenant ⌊in order for it to stand⌋.*
15 But he rebelled against him by sending his messengers to Egypt to give to him horses and a large army. Will he succeed? Will he escape doing these things, and can he break the covenant and escape?
16 ⌊As I live⌋,'* ⌊declares⌋* the Lord Yahweh, '⌊surely⌋* in the place of the king ⌊who made⌋* him king, who despised his oath and who broke his covenant with him—in the midst of Babylon he will die.
