Ezekiel 17:16-21

New International Version

¹⁶ “‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall die^(A) in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke.^{(B) 17} Pharaoh^(C) with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when ramps^(D) are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.^{(E) 18} He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledge^(F) 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.^{(G) 20} I will spread my net^(H) for him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgment^(I) on him there because he was unfaithful^(J) to me. ²¹ All his choice troops will fall by the sword,^(K) and the survivors^(L) will be scattered to the winds.^(M) Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken.^(N)
