And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 21 of Ezekiel. The king of Babylon appears consulting signs to determine his military route. Pagan divination forms part of the scene, but the result remains within divine sovereignty. The sentence against Jerusalem reaches the prince whose rule has been marked by unfaithfulness.

Und des HERRN Wort geschah zu mir und sprach:
Y serales como adivinación mentirosa en sus ojos, por estar juramentados con juramento a ellos: mas él trae a la memoria la maldad, para prenderlos.
A ellos les parecerá una adivinación falsa; tienen juramentos solemnes. Pero él les recordará su culpa, para que sean apresados.
Ils ne voient là que de vaines divinations, eux qui ont fait des serments. Mais lui, il se souvient de leur iniquité, en sorte qu'ils seront pris.
Ma ciò è parso un augurio vano a quelli che aveano loro fatti molti giuramenti; ma ora egli rammemorerà loro l’iniquità; acciocchè sieno presi.
Isto será como adivinhação vã, aos olhos daqueles que lhes fizeram juramentos; mas ele se lembrará da iniqüidade, para que sejam apanhados.
在那些曾鄭重起誓的 猶大 人眼中,這是虛假的占卜;但 巴比倫 王要使他們想起自己的罪孽,以便俘擄他們。」
