Wherefore the Lord also was with him: and in all things, to which he went forth, he behaved himself wisely. And he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper or be saved? And shall he escape that hath broken the covenant?
For the wrath of the Lord was against Jerusalem and against Juda, till he cast them out from his presence: and Sedecias revolted from the king of Babylon.
