Exegesis
The closing clause ito betokh Bavel yamut {אִתּ֥וֹ בְתוֹךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל יָמֽוּת | ʾit-tô bə-ṯōḵ Bā·ḇel yā-mûṯ} delivers the judgment with a Qal imperfect, underscoring inevitability in a judicial setting.
In context — Ezekiel 17:16
As I live—declares the Lord GOD —surely in the place of the king who made him king, whose oath he despised , and whose covenant he broke, with him in the midst of Babylon, he shall die.
