7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, dForasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 8 And erent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, fwho kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes; 9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: gfor thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and hmolten images, to provoke me to anger, and i*hast cast me behind thy back: 10 Therefore, behold, jI will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam khim that pisseth against the wall, land him that is shut up and left in Israel, and mwill take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. 11 nHim that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the Lord hath spoken it. 12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. 13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him othere is found some good thing toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. 14 pMoreover the Lord shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: qbut what? even now. 15 For the Lord shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall rroot up Israel out of this sgood land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them tbeyond the river, ubecause they have made their groves, vprovoking the Lord to anger. 16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and wwho made Israel to sin. 17 And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to xTirzah: and when she came to the ythreshold of the door, the child died; 18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, zaccording to the word of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet. 19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he awarred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he †slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
