11. Moreover the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] unto[H413] me, saying,[H559]
12. Say[H559] now[H4994] to the rebellious[H4805] house,[H1004] Know[H3045] ye not[H3808] what[H4100] these[H428] things mean? tell[H559] them, Behold,[H2009] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] is come[H935] to Jerusalem,[H3389] and hath taken[H3947] [H853] the king[H4428] thereof, and the princes[H8269] thereof, and led[H935] them with[H413] him to Babylon;[H894]
13. And hath taken[H3947] of the king's[H4410] seed,[H4480] [H2233] and made[H3772] a covenant[H1285] with[H854] him, and hath taken[H935] an oath[H423] of him: he hath also taken[H3947] the mighty[H352] of the land: [H776]
14. That the kingdom[H4467] might be[H1961] base,[H8217] that it might not[H1115] lift itself up,[H5375] but that by keeping[H8104] [H853] of his covenant[H1285] it might stand.[H5975]
15. But he rebelled[H4775] against him in sending[H7971] his ambassadors[H4397] into Egypt,[H4714] that they might give[H5414] him horses[H5483] and much[H7227] people.[H5971] Shall he prosper?[H6743] shall he escape[H4422] that doeth[H6213] such[H428] things? or shall he break[H6565] the covenant,[H1285] and be delivered?[H4422]
16. As I[H589] live,[H2416] saith[H5002] the Lord[H136] GOD,[H3069] surely[H518] [H3808] in the place[H4725] where the king[H4428] dwelleth that made him king,[H4427] [H853] whose[H834] [H853] oath[H423] he despised,[H959] and whose[H834] [H853] covenant[H1285] he broke,[H6565] even with[H854] him in the midst[H8432] of Babylon[H894] he shall die.[H4191]
17. Neither[H3808] shall Pharaoh[H6547] with his mighty[H1419] army[H2428] and great[H7227] company[H6951] make[H6213] for him in the war,[H4421] by casting up[H8210] mounts,[H5550] and building[H1129] forts,[H1785] to cut off[H3772] many[H7227] persons: [H5315]
18. Seeing he despised[H959] the oath[H423] by breaking[H6565] the covenant,[H1285] when, lo,[H2009] he had given[H5414] his hand,[H3027] and hath done[H6213] all[H3605] these[H428] things, he shall not[H3808] escape.[H4422]
19. Therefore[H3651] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the Lord[H136] GOD;[H3069] As I[H589] live,[H2416] surely[H518] [H3808] mine oath[H423] that[H834] he hath despised,[H959] and my covenant[H1285] that[H834] he hath broken,[H6565] even it will I recompense[H5414] upon his own head.[H7218]
20. And I will spread[H6566] my net[H7568] upon[H5921] him, and he shall be taken[H8610] in my snare,[H4686] and I will bring[H935] him to Babylon,[H894] and will plead[H8199] with[H854] him there[H8033] for his trespass[H4603] that[H834] he hath trespassed[H4603] against me.
21. And all[H3605] his fugitives[H4015] with all[H3605] his bands[H102] shall fall[H5307] by the sword,[H2719] and they that remain[H7604] shall be scattered[H6566] toward all[H3605] winds:[H7307] and ye shall know[H3045] that[H3588] I[H589] the LORD[H3068] have spoken[H1696] it.
22. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the Lord[H136] GOD;[H3069]
