² “I lifted you up from the dust^(A) and appointed you ruler^(B) over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused^(C) my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins. ³ 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. ⁴ 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.”
