Unchecked Copy BoxEze 17:12 - Son of man, say now to the provoking house, Know ye not what these things were? say to them, Whenever the king of Babylon shall come against Jerusalem, then he shall take her king and her princes, and shall take them home to Babylon.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 17:13 - And he shall take of the seed royal, and shall make a covenant with him, and shall bind him with an oath: and he shall take the princes of the land:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 17:14 - that it may become a weak kingdom, so as never to lift itself up, that he may keep his covenant, and establish it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 17:15 - And if he shall revolt from him, to send his messengers into Egypt, that they may give him horses and much people; shall he prosper? shall he that acts as an adversary be preserved? and shall he that transgresses the covenant be preserved?

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 17:24 - And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord that bring low the high tree, and exalt the low tree, and wither the green tree, and cause the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.
