Ezekiel 17:12
Compare all
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.” ’ ”  
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?  
16 ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely ain the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke—with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.  
17 aNor will Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company do anything in the war, bwhen they heap up a siege mound and build a1 wall to cut off many persons.  
18 Since he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and in fact agave his hand and still did all these things, he shall not escape.’ ”  
19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “As I live, surely My oath which he despised, and My covenant which he broke, I will recompense on his own head.
20 I will aspread My net over him, and he shall be taken in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon and btry him there for the treason which he committed against Me.  
21 aAll his fugitives with all his troops shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be bscattered to every wind; and you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken.”  

Israel Exalted at Last

22 Thus says the Lord God: “I will take also one of the highest abranches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs ba tender one, and will cplant it on a high and prominent mountain.
