NASB
"that the kingdom might be in subjection, not exalting itself, but keeping his covenant that it might continue."
— Ezekiel 17:14, NASB
“That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.”
“that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand. ”
“that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.”
“so it would be a lowly kingdom which could not rise on its own but must keep its treaty with him in order to stand.”
“That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant and observe it.”
“So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants.”
“That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.”
Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
"Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Say, 'Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took its king and princes and brought them to him in Babylon.
'He took one of the royal family and made a covenant with him, putting him under oath. He also took away the mighty of the land,
that the kingdom might be in subjection, not exalting itself, but keeping his covenant that it might continue.
'But he rebelled against him by sending his envoys to Egypt that they might give him horses and many troops. Will he succeed? Will he who does such things escape? Can he indeed break the covenant and escape?
'As I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'Surely in the country of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, in Babylon he shall die.
'Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in the war, when they cast up ramps and build siege walls to cut off many lives.
