Then he carried away the leaders of the land. 14 This kingdom was made humble so that it would not exalt itself, and so that by keeping its covenant, it might stand firm. 15 But he rebelled against him by sending his messengers to Egypt to obtain horses and a great army. Will he prosper? Will he escape if he does such things? Can a person break a covenant and still escape? 16 As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, in the place where the king who made him king resides—whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke—there in Babylon he will die. 17 Pharaoh and his mighty army and great company will not help him in battle, when mounds are heaped up and siege walls are built to destroy many people. 18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Though he gave his hand in pledge, he did all these things. He will not escape! 19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, My oath which he despised and My covenant which he broke, I will bring upon his own head. 20 I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgment upon him there for the unfaithfulness he committed against Me.
