Ezekiel 17:15

---

← Ezekiel 17:14	Ezekiel 17:15 (KJV)	Ezekiel 17:16 →
That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, [but] that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.	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 [things]? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?	[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place [where] the king [dwelleth] that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, [even] with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
