9But you did more evil than all who were before you. You have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten idols to provoke me, but me you have completely disregarded.c 10Therefore, look, I am about to bring disaster upon the house of Jeroboam, and I will cut off malesd from Jeroboam, bond or free, in Israel. I will burn after the house of Jeroboam as one burns after the manure, until it is finished. 11The one belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city, the dogs will eat. The one who dies in the open field, the birds of the heavens will eat, for Yahweh has spoken it.” ’ 12As for you, get up. Go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child will die. 13All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. This one alone will come to a tomb for Jeroboam, because a good thing has been found in him by Yahweh the God of Israel in the house of Israel. 14Yahweh will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will even now cut off the house of Jeroboam this day. 15Yahweh will strike Israel as one shakes the reed plant in the water, and he will root Israel up from this good land that he gave to their ancestors.e He will scatter them beyond the Riverf because they have made their sacred poles which are provoking Yahweh. 16He will give up Israel because of the sin of Jeroboam which he sinned and which he caused Israel to sin.”
