1 Kings 14:9-16
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 But have done evil above all who were before you; for you have made yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke Me to anger and have cast Me behind your back—
10 Therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam and will cut off from [him] every male, both bond and free, in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam as a man sweeps away dung, till it is all gone.
11 Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and any who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat. For the Lord has spoken it.
12 Arise therefore [Ano, Jeroboam’s wife], get to your own house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.
13 And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam’s family shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good and pleasing to the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Moreover, the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam this day. From now on
15 The 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 [Euphrates] River, because they have made their Asherim [idolatrous symbols of the goddess Asherah], provoking the Lord to anger.
16 He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam which he has sinned and made Israel to sin.

1 Kings 14:9-16
New International Version
9 You have done more evil(A) than all who lived before you.(B) You have made for yourself other gods, idols(C) made of metal; you have aroused(D) my anger and turned your back on me.(E)
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!’
12 “As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die. 13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will be buried, because he is the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the Lord, the God of Israel, has found anything good.(K)
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.[b] 15 And the Lord will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot(L) Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused(M) the Lord’s anger by making Asherah(N) poles.[c] 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins(O) Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
