Ezekiel 17:13-16 Yea took of the seed royal, And solemnised with him a covenant,––And brought him into an oath, Also, the mighty ones of the land, did he take.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Yea took of the seed royal, And solemnised with him a covenant,––And brought him into an oath, Also, the mighty ones of the land, did he take. ¹⁴ That, the kingdom, might be, abased, so as not to lift itself up,––By the keeping of his covenant, might be made to stand. ¹⁵ But he hath rebelled against him, by sending his messengers to Egypt, that there should be given to him horses, and much people. Shall he thrive? Shall he escape that doeth these things? Shall he break a covenant, and escape? ¹⁶ As I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Very! in the place where dwelleth the king that made him, king, Whose oath he hath despised, And whose covenant he hath broken, With him, in the midst of Babylon, shall he die.
