Ezekiel 17:15
King James Version
“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 or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?”
Context
12Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these tell Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
13And 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:
14That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15But 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 or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
16As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place the king that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17Neither shall Pharaoh with mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
18Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these he shall not escape.
