Ezekiel 17:19

“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, [as] I live, &c.] A repetition of the oath of God as before, expressing his indignation at the king of Judah, and the certainty of his ruin: surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken; the Lord calls it his oath, because it was made and taken in his name, (<143613>2 Chronicles 36:13); and his covenant, because it was agreeable to his will, and was made in his sight, and he was solemnly appealed to at the making of it; all which were an aggravation of Zedekiah’s sin in violating them, and made his punishment the heavier: even it will I recompense upon his own head; he shall personally bear the punishment due to such crimes.…”

“mine oath--The "covenant" being sworn in God's name was really His covenant; a new instance in relation to man of the treacherous spirit which had been so often betrayed in relation to God. God Himself must therefore avenge the violation of His covenant "on the head" of the perjurer (compare Psa 7:16).”

“17:19-21 God would punish Israel’s king for breaking his covenant with treason against the Lord who had planted him in the land of promise. • I will bring him to Babylon and put him on trial: See 2 Kgs 25:5-7.”

“surely: Eze 21:23-27; Deu 5:11; Jer 5:2, Jer 5:9, Jer 7:9-15 Ezekiel 17:20”
