17:12 “Say to the rebellious house of Israel:
‘Don’t you know what these things mean?’
Say: ‘See here, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem
and took her king and her officials prisoner and brought them to himself in Babylon.
17:13 He took one from the royal family,
made a treaty with him, and put him under oath.
He then took the leaders of the land
17:14 so it would be a lowly kingdom which could not rise on its own but must keep its treaty with him in order to stand.
17:15 But this one from Israel’s royal family
rebelled against the king of Babylon
by sending his emissaries to Egypt to obtain horses and a large army. Will he prosper? Will the one doing these things escape? Can he break the covenant and escape?

17:18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Take note – he gave his promise and did all these things – he will not escape!
17:19 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will certainly repay him for despising my oath and breaking my covenant!
17:20 I will throw my net over him and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylon and judge him there because of the unfaithfulness he committed against me.
