Ezekiel17:16
16 As, I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
As sure as I am God, and live, I will punish this perjury.
A particular account of the Punishment.
Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar.
Zedekiah.
The oath Nebuchadnezzar imposed.
Contemptuously, without any just cause given, and therefore this perfidious Prince could never expect more favour, but must in reason fear the greatest severities, under this fear Zedekiah shall spend the rest of his dayes.
He shall rather be alwayes dying, for though he lived a natural life, yet 'twas in such sadness, it is more properly stiled a dying, in blindness under the memorial of the most afflictive sight. The murther of his Children, which was the last thing his eye ever beheld.
