Ezekiel:17:14-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
That the kingdom might be base ,
that it might not lift itself up ,
but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
