12 Say, When the king of Babylon hath come to Jerusalem, and shall take the king thereof and the chiefs thereof, and hath caused them to be brought to him to Babylon;
13 and shall take one of the royal seed and make a covenant with him, and shall lay him under an oath and comprehend the generals of the land,
14 that it shall be a weak kingdom and never be independent; that he will keep this covenant with him and that it shall stand.
15 Now should he revolt from him so as to send his ambassadors to Egypt, that it may furnish him with horses and a great army, shall he prosper? Shall he who is perfidious escape? And shall he who breaketh a covenant be delivered?
16 As I live saith the Lord, in the place where the king liveth, who made him king; even with him in Babylon shall he die who hath dishonoured my oath and broken my covenant: and neither with a great army nor with much people,
17 shall Pharao support him in the war, when ramparts are a raising, and towers a building to destroy lives.
18 As he hath dishonoured an oath, by breaking a covenant, [when lo! he had given his hand] and hath done all these things to him, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore say, As I live saith the Lord, The oath which he hath dishonoured, and the covenant which he hath broken, even this I will requite upon his head.
20 And I will spread my net for him and he shall be taken in my enclosure.
21 In every engagement his men shall fall by the sword; and them who are left I will scatter to every wind; and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken.
