Demi Aku yang hidup, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, ia pasti mati di Babel, di tempat raja yang mengangkatnya menjadi raja. Karena ia memandang ringan kepada sumpah yang dimintakan raja itu dari padanya dan mengingkari perjanjian raja itu dengan dia.
Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Sesungguh-sungguh Aku hidup, demikianlah firman Tuhan Hua, masakan tiada ia akan mati di tengah-tengah Babil, di tempat kedudukan raja yang sudah merajakan dia, dan yang punya sumpah sudah dicelakannya dan yang punya perjanjian sudah diubahkannya!

Contextual Overview

1 The worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying: 2 Thou sonne of man, put foorth a parable, & speake a prouerbe vnto the house of Israel, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lorde God: There came a great Egle, with great winges, yea with a mightie long body, and ful of fethers of diuers colours, vppon the mount of Libanus, and toke the hyest braunche of a Cedar tree. 4 And brake of the top of his twigges, and caryed it into the lande of marchauntes, and set it in a citie of marchauntes. 5 He toke also of the seede of the land, and planted it in a fruiteful grounde, he brought it vnto great waters, and set it in an open trenche. 6 Then did it grow, and was a spreading vine, but lowe of stature, whose braunches turned towarde it, and the rootes of it were vnder it: thus there came of it a vine, and it brought foorth braunches, and shot foorth buddes. 7 But there was another Egle, a great one, whiche had great wynges and many fethers: and beholde, the rootes of this vine turned towardes it, and spread out her braunches towards it, that she might water it by the trenches of her plantation. 8 It was planted vpon a good soyle beside great waters, so that it should haue brought out braunches, & borne fruite, and haue ben a goodly vine. 9 Speake thou therfore, thus saith the Lorde God: Shall this vine prosper? shall he not pull vp the rootes therof, and destroy the fruite thereof, and cause them to dry? all the leaues of her bud shall wither without great power, or many people, to plucke it vp by the rootes thereof. 10 Behold, it was planted: Shall it prosper therfore? Shall it not be dryed vp and withered? when the east winde shall touche it, it shall wither in the trenches where it grewe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

[As] I live, saith the Lord God,.... This is the form of an oath, as Kimchi and Ben Melech observe; the Lord swears, in his wrath, by himself, by his life; this shows how much he resented, what Zedekiah had done, and how sure and certain his ruin was:

surely in the place [where] the king [dwelleth] that made him king; in Babylon, where Nebuchadnezzar dwelt, that made Zedekiah king of Judah; which is mentioned, to point out the ingratitude of that prince to the king of Babylon:

whose oath he despised, whose covenant he broke; the oath of fealty and, allegiance, which Zedekiah took to Nebuchadnezzar; and the covenant entered into between them, by which the former held the kingdom of Judea of the latter: the oath he made light of, though solemn, one made by the God of Israel; and the covenant he broke, though ratified by an oath; in which things were given to him he could not claim, at least possess, but by the courtesy of the conqueror; these sins were displeasing to God: oaths and covenants, though made with conquerors, and with Heathen princes, are to be kept:

[even] with him; that is, with Nebuchadnezzar:

in the midst of Babylon he shall die; when first taken he was had to Riblah, and there his eyes were put out; and after that he was carried to Babylon, and put in prison, and there died, Jeremiah 52:9.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 17:16. In the midst of Babylon he shall die. — His eyes were put out; he was carried to Babylon, and never returned.
