26:017:017 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company
make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building
forts, to cut off many persons:
26:017:018 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when,
lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he
shall not escape.
26:017:019 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath
that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken,
even it will I recompense upon his own head.
26:017:020 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my
snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with
him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
26:017:021 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the
sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all
winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
26:017:022 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest
branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off
from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant
it upon an high mountain and eminent:
26:017:023 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and
it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly
cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the
shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
26:017:024 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have
brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have
dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to
flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
26:018:001 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
26:018:002 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
