EZEKIEL 17:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
God's oath—His personal word—will come upon Zedekiah's head, as the covenant he despised returns upon him with divine enforcement. The theological shift from human covenant to divine oath emphasizes that breaking covenant with the king of Babylon ultimately constitutes breaking covenant with God, who stands behind all legitimate political authority. Divine oaths cannot be violated without consequence.
