9 “Say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“Will it thrive?
aWill he not pull up its roots,
Cut off its fruit,
And leave it to wither?
All of its spring leaves will wither,
And no great power or many people
Will be needed to pluck it up by its roots.
“Will it thrive?
aWill he not pull up its roots,
Cut off its fruit,
And leave it to wither?
All of its spring leaves will wither,
And no great power or many people
Will be needed to pluck it up by its roots.
10 Behold, it is planted,
Will it thrive?
aWill it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it?
It will wither in the garden terrace where it grew.” ’ ”
Will it thrive?

It will wither in the garden terrace where it grew.” ’ ”
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
12 “Say now to athe rebellious house: ‘Do you not know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Indeed bthe king of Babylon went to Jerusalem and took its king and princes, and led them with him to Babylon.
13 aAnd he took the king’s offspring, made a covenant with him, band put him under oath. He also took away the mighty of the land,
14 that the kingdom might be abrought low and not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
15 But ahe rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors to Egypt, bthat they might give him horses and many people. cWill he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still be delivered?
