13 He took one of the king’s seed, and made a covenant with him, and put him under oath. He has also taken away the mighty of the land,
14 that the kingdom might be debased, that it might not lift itself up, but by the keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 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 who does such things? Can he indeed break the covenant and be delivered?
16 As I live, says the Lord God, surely in the country of the king who made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17 Nor shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war by casting up mounts and building forts to cut off many persons.
18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when he had given his allegiance and has done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely My oath that he has despised and My covenant that he has broken, I will inflict upon his own head.
