And anyone who diesH4191 in the fieldH7704, the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 will eatH398; for the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 it.”’ 12Now you, ariseH6965, goH1980 to your houseH1004. 14When your feetH7272 enterH935 the cityH5892 the childH3206 will dieH4191. 13Then allH3605 IsraelH3478 will mournH5594 for him and buryH6912 him, for 15he aloneH905 of Jeroboam’sH3379 family will comeH935 to the graveH6913, becauseH3282 in him 16somethingH1697 goodH2896 was foundH4672 towardH413 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379. 14Moreover, 17the LordH3068 will raiseH6965 upH6965 for Himself a kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478 whoH834 will eliminateH3772 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 thisH2088 dayH3117 18and from nowH6258 on.
