Ezekiel 17:13-16

13 ^aAnd he took one of the royal offspring ^{▼▼Hebrew seed} ^cand made a covenant with him, ^dputting him under oath ( ^ethe chief men of the land he had taken away), 14 that the kingdom might be humble and not lift itself up, and keep his covenant that it might stand. 15 ^fBut he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors ^gto Egypt, that they might give him horses and a large army. ^hWill he thrive? Can one escape who does such things? Can he ⁱbreak the covenant and yet escape?

16 ^j“As I live, declares the Lord God, surely ^kin the place where the king dwells ^lwho made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant with him he broke, in Babylon he shall die.
