Shall he prosper6743? shall he escape4422 that doeth6213 such {things}? or shall he break6565 the covenant1285, and be delivered4422? 17:16 {As} I live2416, saith5002 the Lord0136 GOD3069, surely in the place4725 {where} the king4428 {dwelleth} that made him king4427, whose oath0423 he despised0959, and whose covenant1285 he brake6565, {even} with him in the midst8432 of Babylon0894 he shall die4191. 17:17 Neither shall Pharaoh6547 with {his} mighty1419 army2428 and great7227 company6951 make6213 for him in the war4421, by casting up8210 mounts5550, and building1129 forts1785, to cut off3772 many7227 persons5315: 17:18 Seeing he despised0959 the oath0423 by breaking6565 the covenant1285, when, lo, he had given5414 his hand3027, and hath done6213 all these {things}, he shall not escape4422. 17:19 Therefore thus saith0559 the Lord0136 GOD3069; {As} I live2416, surely mine oath0423 that he hath despised0959, and my covenant1285 that he hath broken6331, even it will I recompense5414 upon his own head7218. 17:20 And I will spread6566 my net7568 upon him, and he shall be taken8610 in my snare4686, and I will bring0935 him to Babylon0894, and will plead8199 with him there for his trespass4603 that he hath trespassed4604 against me. 17:21 And all his fugitives4015 with all his bands0102 shall fall5307 by the sword2719, and they that remain7604 shall be scattered6566 toward all winds7307: and ye shall know3045 that I the LORD3068 have spoken1696 {it}. 17:22 Thus saith0559 the Lord0136 GOD3069; I will also take3947 of the highest branch6788 of the high7311 cedar0730, and will set5414 {it}; I will crop off6998 from the top7218 of his young twigs3127 a tender one7390, and will plant8362 {it} upon an high1364 mountain2022 and eminent8524: 17:23 In the mountain2022 of the height4791 of Israel3478 will I plant8362 it: and it shall bring forth5375 boughs6057, and bear6213 fruit6529, and be a goodly0117 cedar0730: and under it shall dwell7931 all fowl6833 of every wing3671; in the shadow6738 of the branches1808 thereof shall they dwell7931. 17:24 And all the trees6086 of the field7704 shall know3045 that I the LORD3068 have brought down8213 the high1364 tree6086, have exalted1361 the low8217 tree6086, have dried3001 up the green3892 tree6086, and have made the dry3002 tree6086 to flourish6524: I the LORD3068 have spoken1696 and have done6213 {it}.
