16 “As I live, declares the Lord God, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant with him he broke, ^lin Babylon he shall die.

18 He despised the oath in breaking the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand and did all these things; he shall not escape.

19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely it is my oath that he despised, and my covenant that he broke. I will return it upon his head.
