Ezekiel 17:13-24

17:13

And hath taken
<03947> (8799)

of the king's
<04410>

seed
<02233>_,

and made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

with him, and hath taken
<0935> (8686)

an oath
<0423>

of him: he hath also taken
<03947> (8804)

the mighty
<0352>

of the land
<0776>_:

{taken an...: Heb. brought him to an oath}

17:14

That the kingdom
<04467>

might be base
<08217>_,

that it might not lift itself up
<05375> (8692)_,

[but] that by keeping
<08104> (8800)

of his covenant
<01285>

it might stand
<05975> (8800)_.

{but...: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}

17:15

But he rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against him in sending
<07971> (8800)

his ambassadors
<04397>

into Egypt
<04714>_,

that they might give
<05414> (8800)

him horses
<05483>

and much
<07227>

people
<05971>_.

Shall he prosper
<06743> (8799)_?

shall he escape
<04422> (8735)

that doeth
<06213> (8802)

such [things]? or shall he break
<06565> (8689)

the covenant
<01285>_,

and be delivered
<04422> (8738)_?

17:16

[As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

surely in the place
<04725>

[where] the king
<04428>

[dwelleth] that made him king
<04427> (8688)_,

whose oath
<0423>

he despised
<0959> (8804)_,

and whose covenant
<01285>

he brake
<06565> (8689)_,

[even] with him in the midst
<08432>

of Babylon
<0894>

he shall die
<04191> (8799)_.

17:17

Neither shall Pharaoh
<06547>

with [his] mighty
<01419>

army
<02428>

and great
<07227>

company
<06951>

make
<06213> (8799)

for him in the war
<04421>_,

by casting up
<08210> (8800)

mounts
<05550>_,

and building
<01129> (8800)

forts
<01785>_,

to cut off
<03772> (8687)

many
<07227>

persons
<05315>_:

17:18

Seeing he despised
<0959> (8804)

the oath
<0423>

by breaking
<06565> (8687)

the covenant
<01285>_,

when, lo, he had given
<05414> (8804)

his hand
<03027>_,

and hath done
<06213> (8804)

all these [things], he shall not escape
<04422> (8735)_.

17:19

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

[As] I live
<02416>_,

surely mine oath
<0423>

that he hath despised
<0959> (8804)_,

and my covenant
<01285>

that he hath broken
<06331> (8689)_,

even it will I recompense
<05414> (8804)

upon his own head
<07218>_.

17:20

And I will spread
<06566> (8804)

my net
<07568>

upon him, and he shall be taken
<08610> (8738)

in my snare
<04686>_,

and I will bring
<0935> (8689)

him to Babylon
<0894>_,

and will plead
<08199> (8738)

with him there for his trespass
<04603> (8804)

that he hath trespassed
<04604>

against me.

17:21

And all his fugitives
<04015>

with all his bands
<0102>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

and they that remain
<07604> (8737)

shall be scattered
<06566> (8735)

toward all winds
<07307>_:

and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

17:22

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

I will also take
<03947> (8804)

of the highest branch
<06788>

of the high
<07311> (8802)

cedar
<0730>_,

and will set
<05414> (8804)

[it]; I will crop off
<06998> (8799)

from the top
<07218>

of his young twigs
<03127>

a tender one
<07390>_,

and will plant
<08362> (8804)

[it] upon an high
<01364>

mountain
<02022>

and eminent
<08524> (8803)_:

17:23

In the mountain
<02022>

of the height
<04791>

of Israel
<03478>

will I plant
<08362> (8799)

it: and it shall bring forth
<05375> (8804)

boughs
<06057>_,

and bear
<06213> (8804)

fruit
<06529>_,

and be a goodly
<0117>

cedar
<0730>_:

and under it shall dwell
<07931> (8804)

all fowl
<06833>

of every wing
<03671>_;

in the shadow
<06738>

of the branches
<01808>

thereof shall they dwell
<07931> (8799)_.

17:24

And all the trees
<06086>

of the field
<07704>

shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have brought down
<08213> (8689)

the high
<01364>

tree
<06086>_,

have exalted
<01361> (8689)

the low
<08217>

tree
<06086>_,

have dried
<03001> (8689)

up the green
<03892>

tree
<06086>_,

and have made the dry
<03002>

tree
<06086>

to flourish
<06524> (8689)_:

I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

and have done
<06213> (8804)

[it].
