I will sweep away the house of Jeroboam

as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone!

Anyone who belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city,

the dogs will eat,

and anyone who dies in the field,

the birds will eat,

for the Lord has spoken!’

Him 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.
