Ezekiel 17:15-21 But he hath rebelled against him, by sending his messengers to Egypt, that there should be given to him horses, and much people. Shall he thrive? Shall he escape that doeth these things? Shall he break a covenant, and escape?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But he hath rebelled against him, by sending his messengers to Egypt, that there should be given to him horses, and much people. Shall he thrive? Shall he escape that doeth these things? Shall he break a covenant, and escape? ¹⁶ As I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Very! in the place where dwelleth the king that made him, king, Whose oath he hath despised, And whose covenant he hath broken, With him, in the midst of Babylon, shall he die. ¹⁷ Neither shall Pharaoh, with a great force, or with a large gathered host, work with him, in the war, by casting up an earthwork, and by building a siege–wall, ––to the cuting off of many lives. ¹⁸ Seeing he hath despised an oath, by breaking a covenant––yea lo! hath given his hand, and, all these things, hath done, he shall not escape. ¹⁹ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, As I live, Surely it is mine oath, which he hath despised, And, my covenant, which he hath broken, Therefore will I bring it upon his own head: ²⁰ And I will spread over him my net, And he shall be taken in my snare, And I will bring him into Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there, as to his treachery wherewith he hath been treacherous against me; ²¹ And, all his fugitives, throughout all his bands, by the sword, shall fall, And, they who are left, to every wind, shall be scattered,––So shall ye know, that, I, Yahweh, have spoken!
