And hath takenh3947h8799 of the king'sh4410 seedh2233, and madeh3772h8799 a covenanth1285 with him, and hath takenh935h8686 an oathh423 of him: he hath also takenh3947h8804 the mightyh352 of the landh776: taken an...: Heb. brought him to an oath

Shall he prosperh6743h8799? shall he escapeh4422h8735 that doethh6213h8802 such things ? or shall he breakh6565h8689 the covenanth1285, and be deliveredh4422h8738?

16

As I liveh2416, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069, surely in the placeh4725 where the kingh4428 dwelleth that made him kingh4427h8688, whose oathh423 he despisedh959h8804, and whose covenanth1285 he brakeh6565h8689, even with him in the midsth8432 of Babylonh894 he shall dieh4191h8799.

18

Seeing he despisedh959h8804 the oathh423 by breakingh6565h8687 the covenanth1285, when, lo, he had givenh5414h8804 his handh3027, and hath doneh6213h8804 all these things , he shall not escapeh4422h8735.

And I will spreadh6566h8804 my neth7568 upon him, and he shall be takenh8610h8738 in my snareh4686, and I will bringh935h8689 him to Babylonh894, and will pleadh8199h8738 with him there for his trespassh4603h8804 that he hath trespassedh4604 against me.

23

In the mountainh2022 of the heighth4791 of Israelh3478 will I planth8362h8799 it: and it shall bring forthh5375h8804 boughsh6057, and bearh6213h8804 fruith6529, and be a goodlyh117 cedarh730: and under it shall dwellh7931h8804 all fowlh6833 of every wingh3671; in the shadowh6738 of the branchesh1808 thereof shall they dwellh7931h8799.

And all the treesh6086 of the fieldh7704 shall knowh3045h8804 that I the LORDh3068 have brought downh8213h8689 the highh1364 treeh6086, have exaltedh1361h8689 the lowh8217 treeh6086, have driedh3001h8689 up the greenh3892 treeh6086, and have made the dryh3002 treeh6086 to flourishh6524h8689: I the LORDh3068 have spokenh1696h8765 and have doneh6213h8804 it .
