you also have done more evil than all who were before you, and (A)you have gone and made for yourself other gods and (B)cast metal images to provoke Me to anger, and have (C)thrown Me behind your back— 10 therefore behold, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and (D)I will eliminate from Jeroboam [a]every male person, (E)both [b]bond and free in Israel, and I (F)will make a clean sweep of the house of Jeroboam, just as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone.

Prophecy against Baasha

32 [a]Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33 You snakes, (A)you [b]offspring of vipers, how [c]will you escape the [d]sentence of [e](B)hell?

34 (C)Therefore, behold, (D)I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will (E)flog in your synagogues, and (F)persecute from city to city, 35 so that upon you will fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous (G)Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the (H)son of Berechiah, whom (I)you murdered between the [f]temple and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon (J)this generation.
