Revised Version 1895
1 Kings 14:7-15
7Go, tellH559 JeroboamH3379, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Forasmuch as I exaltedH7311 thee from among the peopleH5971, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
8and rent the kingdomH4467 awayH1980 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 it thee: and yet thou hast notH3808 been as my servantH5650 DavidH1732, who keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and who followedH310 meH5414 with allH3605 his heartH3824, to doH6213 that onlyH7535 whichH834 was rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869;
9but hast doneH6213 evilH7489 aboveH6440 allH3605 that were beforeH6440 thee, and hast goneH1961 and madeH6213 thee otherH312 godsH430, and molten imagesH4541, to provokeH3707 meH6440 to angerH3707, and hast castH7993 meH6440 behindH310 thy backH310:
10therefore, beholdH2005, I will bringH935 evilH7451 uponH935 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and will cutH3772 offH3772 from JeroboamH3379 everyH8366 man child, him that is shutH6113 upH5704 and him that is leftH5800 at largeH1004 in IsraelH3478, and will utterlyH8552 sweep awayH310 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, as a man sweepeth awayH310 dungH1557, tillH5704 it be allH5704 goneH935.
11Him that dieth of JeroboamH3379 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398; and him that dieth in the fieldH7704 shall the fowls of the air eatH398: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
12AriseH6965 thou therefore, getH6965 thee to thine houseH1004: and when thy feetH7272 enterH935 intoH935 the cityH5892, the childH3206 shall dieH4191.
13And allH3605 IsraelH3478 shall mournH5594 for him, and buryH6912 him; for he onlyH905 of JeroboamH3379 shall comeH935 to the graveH6913: becauseH3588 in him there is foundH4672 someH3605 goodH2896 thingH1697 towardH413 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, in the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379.
14MoreoverH1571 the LORDH3068 shall raiseH6965 him upH6965 a kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, who shall cutH3772 offH3772 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 that dayH3117: but whatH4100? evenH1571 nowH6258. n
15For the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 IsraelH3478, as a reedH7070 is shakenH5110 in the waterH4325; and he shall rootH5428 upH5921 IsraelH3478 outH5921 of this goodH2896 landH127, whichH834 he gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, and shall scatterH2219 them beyondH5676 the RiverH5104; becauseH5921 they have madeH6213 their AsherimH842, provokingH3707 the LORDH3068 to angerH3707.
