OET (OET-RV) because the king despised his promise by breaking the agreement. Wow, he reached out to make a promise and yet afterwards he did all those things. He won’t escape.

(Occurrence 0) reached out with his hand to make a promise
(Some words not found in UHB: and,despised oath by,breaking covenant and=see/lo/see! he/it_gave his/its=hand and=all these he/it_had_made not escape )
This refers to taking hold of another person’s hand as a sign of friendship and agreement. Here it represents the covenant oath that he made with the king of Babylon.
17:1-24 This chapter uses a riddle, a form of metaphorical speech that both conceals and reveals. It is also a fable, a story that communicates a moral message about humans by transposing it into the world of plants and animals. The imaginative context creates a distance between the story and the reality and thus disarms the hearer’s defenses against an unpalatable message.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
