Go tell Jeroboam, ‘This is what the Lord God of Israel says: I raised you up from among the people, appointed you ruler over My people Israel, tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you.(A) But you were not like My servant David, who kept My commands and followed Me with all of his heart, doing only what is right in My eyes. You behaved more wickedly than all who were before you.(B) In order to provoke Me, you have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and cast images,(C) but you have flung Me behind your back.(D) 10 Because of all this, I am about to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam:

I will eliminate all of Jeroboam’s males,[a]
both slave and free,[b] in Israel;
I will sweep away the house of Jeroboam
as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone!(E)
