✦ MADE SIMPLE
This is what the Lord says: I'm going to hand over Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt, to his enemies — the people who want him dead. It's going to be exactly like what I did to King Zedekiah of Judah when I let Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon capture him and end his life.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God keeps his word about consequences, even for powerful kings who think they're untouchable.
