But hast done evil above all that were before thee (for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and [a]molten images, to provoke me, and hast cast me behind thy back.)

10 Therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that (A)[b]pisseth against the wall, as well him that [c]is shut up, as him that is left in Israel, and will sweep away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung till it be all gone.

11 The dogs shall eat him of Jeroboam’s stock that dieth in the city, and the fowls of the air shall eat him that dieth in the field: [d]for the Lord hath said it.
