1 Kings 14:14-16
Christian Standard Bible
14 The Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who will wipe out the house of Jeroboam.(A) This is the day, yes,[a] even today! 15 For the Lord will strike Israel so that they will[b] shake as a reed shakes in water. He will uproot Israel from this good soil that he gave to their ancestors.(B) He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates(C) because they made their Asherah poles, angering the Lord.(D) 16 He will give up Israel because of Jeroboam’s sins that he committed and caused Israel to commit.”(E)

New International Version
14 “The Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam. Even now this is beginning to happen.[a] 15 And the Lord will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot(A) Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused(B) the Lord’s anger by making Asherah(C) poles.[b] 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins(D) Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
