1 Kings 14:6-16

6SoH1961 when AhijahH281 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of her feetH7272 enteringH935 the doorH6607, he saidH559, “Come inH935, wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379! WhyH4100H2088 are youH859 disguisedH5234? For IH595 have been sentH7971 to youH413 with badH7186 news. 7GoH1980, tellH559 JeroboamH3379 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559H3282: ‘I raised you upH7311 from amongH8432 the peopleH5971 and appointed youH5414 rulerH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 8I tore the kingdomH4467 awayH7167 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and gave itH5414 to you. But you have not beenH1961H3808 like My servantH5650 DavidH1732, whoH834 keptH8104 My commandmentsH4687 andH834 followed MeH1980H310 with allH3605 his heartH3824, doingH6213 onlyH7535 what was rightH3477 in My eyesH5869.

9You have doneH6213 more evilH7489 than allH3605 whoH834 cameH1961 before youH6440. You have proceededH1980 to makeH6213 for yourself otherH312 godsH430 and molten imagesH4541 to provokeH3707 MeH853, and you have flung MeH7993 behindH310 your backH1458. 10Because of all thisH3651, beholdH2005, I am bringingH935 disasterH7451 onH413 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379:

I will cut offH3772 from JeroboamH3379 every maleH8366H7023,1both slaveH6113 and freeH5800,in IsraelH3478;I will burn upH1197H310 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379asH834 one burns upH1197 dungH1557 untilH5704 it is goneH8552!11Anyone belonging to JeroboamH3379 who diesH4191 in the cityH5892will be eatenH398 by dogsH3611,and anyone who diesH4191 in the fieldH7704will be eatenH398 by the birdsH5775 of the airH8064.’ForH3588 the LORDH3068 has spokenH1696.

12As for youH859, get upH6965 and goH1980 homeH1004. When your feetH7272 enterH935 the cityH5892, the childH3206 will dieH4191. 13AllH3605 IsraelH3478 will mournH5594 for him and buryH6912 himH853. ForH3588 thisH2088 is the only oneH905 belonging to JeroboamH3379 who will receive a proper burialH935H413H6913,2 becauseH3282 only in him has the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, foundH4672 anyH1697 goodH2896H413 in the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379.

14Moreover, the LORDH3068 will raise upH6965 for Himself a kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478 whoH834 will cut offH3772 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379. ThisH2088 is the dayH3117—yes, evenH1571 todayH6258! 15For the LORDH3068 will strikeH5221 IsraelH3478 asH834 a reedH7070 is shakenH5110 in the waterH4325. He will uprootH5428 IsraelH3478 fromH5921 thisH2063 goodH2896 landH127 thatH834 He gaveH5414 their fathersH1, and He will scatter themH2219 beyondH5676 the EuphratesH5104,3 becauseH3282 they have madeH6213 their Asherah polesH842, provokingH3707 the LORD to angerH3068. 16So He will giveH5414 Israel overH3478 on accountH1558 of the sinsH2403 JeroboamH3379 has committedH2398 and has caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398.”
