But you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes. 9 You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have gone and made other gods and cast images to provoke Me to anger, and you have turned your back on Me. 10 Therefore, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off every male in Jeroboam’s family, whether slave or free in Israel. I will sweep away the house of Jeroboam as one sweeps away dung until it is gone. 11 Anyone in Jeroboam’s family who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs; and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the sky, for the LORD has spoken. 12 Now, get up and go back to your house. When you set foot in the city, the boy will die. 13 All Israel will mourn him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboam's family will come to the grave. He is the only one in whom the LORD, the God of Israel, found something good within the house of Jeroboam. 14 The LORD will raise up a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day! What indeed is even now happening! 15 The LORD will strike Israel as a reed sways in the water.

You even killed your brothers, the members of your father's family, who were better than you. 14 So now the Lord is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a devastating plague. 15 You yourself will suffer painful illnesses of your intestines until your intestines come out day by day because of the disease.

Rescue the one who has been robbed from the hand of the oppressor. Do not mistreat or harm the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David's throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their officials, and their people. 5 But if you will not listen to these words, I swear by Myself—declares the LORD—that this palace will become a ruin. 6 For this is what the LORD says about the house of the king of Judah: Though you are like Gilead to me, like the peak of Lebanon, yet I will surely make you into a wilderness, uninhabited cities. 7 I will send destroyers against you, each with his weapons. They will cut down your choice cedars and throw them into the fire. 8 Many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, 'Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?' 9 And the answer will be: 'Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God and worshiped and served other gods.'

But Ephraim will lead their children out to be slaughtered. 14 Give them, LORD—what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry. 15 All their wickedness is at Gilgal, for there I began to hate them. Because of their evil deeds, I will drive them from My house. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious. 16 Ephraim is struck down; their root is dried up; they will bear no fruit.
