Another example as notable as that, is in Ezek. 17 15. when Zedekiah the King of Judah had made a Covenant with the King of Babylon, and broke it, he rebelled against him in sending his Ambassadors into Egypt that they might give him horses and much people; Shall he prosper saith the Lord? shall he escape that doth such things, or shall he break the covenant and be delivered? This covenant was made with a wicked man with a Tyrant, and yet God calls it his Oath and his Covenant, ver. 18. And then with what an Emphasis doth God speak this. He despised the Oath by breaking the Covenant when lo he had given his hand yea ver. 16. God professeth it shall cost him his life, Surely saith the Lo d, in the place where the King dwelleth that made him King, whose Oath he despised, a•d whose Covenant he brake, even with him in the middest of Babylon shall he dye: yea further, ⟨p. 28⟩God sweareth against him and that by his own life, ver. 19. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, at I live surely mine Oath which he hath despised, and my Covenant which he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head: Then further, God tells him that all the strength that he had got to him and all his policy and all his cunning devices should not help him, ver. 20. I will spread my net upon him and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him unto Babylon and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me: And lastly, the wrath of God shall not only be upon him, but upon all those that joined with him and a bet him in the breaking of this covenant, ver. 21. All his fugitives with all his hands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered towards all winds. I know not two scriptures more full for Gods being set to contend with men for breach of promise. Oh take heed all you that are entrusted in any public trust that you break not covenant.
