In context

13And 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:

14that it may become a weak kingdom, so as never to lift itself up, that he may keep his covenant, and establish it.

— Ezekiel 17:15 —

16As I live, saith the Lord, verily in the same place where the king is that made him king, who dishonored my oath, and who broke my covenant, shall he die with him in the midst of Babylon.

17And Pharaoh shall make war upon him not with a large force or great multitude, in throwing up a mound, and in building of forts, to cut off souls.
