Ezekiel 17:15-17

15 But ^{▼▼I.e., Zedekiah}he ^brevolted against ^{▼▼I.e., Nebuchadnezzar}him by sending his messengers to Egypt so that they might give him horses and many ^{▼▼Lit people}troops. Will he succeed? Will he who does these things ^eescape? Can he indeed break the covenant and escape? 16 As I live,’ declares the Lord God, ‘In the ^{▼▼Lit place}country of the king who ^{▼▼Lit made him king}put him on the throne, whose oath he ^hdespised and whose covenant he broke, ^{▼▼Lit with him in Babylon
,} ^jin Babylon he shall certainly die. 17 ^kPharaoh with his mighty army and great contingent will not ^{▼▼Lit act with}help him in the war, when they pile up assault ramps and build siege walls to eliminate many lives.
