1 Kings 14:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Moreover, the Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam today, even now!^[a]

¹⁵ ‘The Lord will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; he will root up Israel out of this good land that he gave to their ancestors, and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their sacred poles,^[b] provoking the Lord to anger. ¹⁶ He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and which he caused Israel to commit.’
