10. Therefore, I am bringing evil upon the house of Jeroboam:I will cut off from Jeroboam’s line every male—bond or free—in Israel;I will burn up what is left of the house of Jeroboamas dung is burned, completely.
11. Anyone of Jeroboam’s line who dies in the city,dogs will devour;anyone who dies in the field,the birds of the sky will devour.For the Lord has spoken!’
12. As for you, leave, and go home! As you step inside the city, the child will die,
13. and all Israel will mourn him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboam’s line will be laid in the grave, since in him alone of Jeroboam’s house has something pleasing to the Lord, the God of Israel, been found.
14. The Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam—today, at this very moment!
15. The Lord will strike Israel like a reed tossed about in the water and will pluck out Israel from this good land which he gave their ancestors, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they made asherahs for themselves, provoking the Lord.
16. He will give up Israel because of the sins Jeroboam has committed and caused Israel to commit.”
