Ezekiel 17:16 in Context — Ezekiel 17
14 afin que le royaume fût tenu dans l’abaissement, sans pouvoir s’élever, et qu’il gardât son alliance en y demeurant fidèle.
15 Mais il s’est révolté contre lui, en envoyant ses messagers en Égypte, pour qu’elle lui donnât des chevaux et un grand nombre d’hommes. Celui qui a fait de telles choses réussira-t-il, échappera-t-il? Il a rompu l’alliance, et il échapperait!
16 Je suis vivant! Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, c’est dans le pays du roi qui l’a fait régner, envers qui il a violé son serment et dont il a rompu l’alliance, c’est près de lui, au milieu de Babylone, qu’il mourra.
17 Pharaon n’ira pas avec une grande armée et un peuple nombreux le secourir pendant la guerre, lorsqu’on élèvera des terrasses et qu’on fera des retranchements pour exterminer une multitude d’âmes.
18 Il a méprisé le serment, il a rompu l’alliance; il avait donné sa main, et il a fait tout cela; il n’échappera pas!
