ACV(i)
9 but have done evil above all who were before thee, and have gone and made thee other gods, and molten images to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind thy back,
10 therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every man-child, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam as a man sweeps away dung, till it be all gone.
11 He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat, and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat, for LORD has spoken it.
12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thy house. When thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him, for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Moreover LORD will raise up a king for him over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day. But what? Even now.
15 For LORD will smite Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. And he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River because they have made their Asherim, provoking LORD to anger.
16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.
17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
18 And all Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
