Ezekiel 17:13-19
New International Version
13 Then he took a member of the royal family and made a treaty(A) with him, putting him under oath.(B) He also carried away the leading men(C) of the land, 14 so that the kingdom would be brought low,(D) unable to rise again, surviving only by keeping his treaty. 15 But the king rebelled(E) against him by sending his envoys to Egypt(F) to get horses and a large army.(G) Will he succeed? Will he who does such things escape? Will he break the treaty and yet escape?(H)
16 “‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall die(I) in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke.(J) 17 Pharaoh(K) with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when ramps(L) are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.(M) 18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledge(N) and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.
19 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will repay him for despising my oath and breaking my covenant.(O)

Ezekiel 17:13-19
King James Version
13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
16 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
