Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.

So I am about to wipe out Baasha(D) and his house,(E) and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat. Dogs(F) will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city, and birds(G) will feed on those who die in the country.”
