You have done more evil than all who were before you: you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke me; but me you have cast behind your back. 10 (A)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 Jeroboam
    as dung is burned, completely.
11 (B)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!’

10 “‘Because of this, I am going to bring disaster(F) on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel—slave or free.[a](G) I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone.(H) 11 Dogs(I) will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds(J) will feed on those who die in the country. The Lord has spoken!’
