Melachim Alef 14:9-16

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁹ But hast done rah more than all that were before thee; for thou hast gone and made for thee elohim acherim, and massekhot (metal idols), to provoke Me to anger, and hast thrust Me behind thy gav (back);

¹⁰ Therefore, hineni, I will bring ra’ah upon the Bais Yarov‘am, and will cut off from Yarov‘am mashtin b’kir (him that urinates against the wall, i.e., every male), atzur (bond) or azuv (free) in Yisroel, and I will sweep out after the Bais Yarov’am just as one sweepeth out the dung, till it be all gone.

¹¹ Him that dieth of Yarov‘am in the Ir shall the kelavim (dogs) eat; and him that dieth in the sadeh shall the oph haShomayim eat; for Hashem hath spoken.

¹² Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own bais; and when thy raglayim enter into the Ir (city, i.e. Tirtzah), the yeled shall die.

¹³ And kol Yisroel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Yarov‘am shall come to the kever (grave), because in him there is found some davar tov (good thing) toward Hashem Elohei Yisroel in the Bais Yarov‘am.

¹⁴ Moreover Hashem shall raise Him up a Melech over Yisroel, who shall cut off the Bais Yarov‘am even this day. This is the day! [See 1Kgs 15:27-29.] Even now.

¹⁵ For Hashem shall strike Yisroel, just as the kaneh (reed), is shaken in the mayim, and He shall uproot Yisroel out of this adamah hatovah, which He gave to Avoteihem, and shall scatter them beyond the Nahar (River, i.e., the Euphrates) because they have made their Ashera idols, provoking Hashem to anger.

¹⁶ And He shall give up Yisroel because of the chattot Yarov‘am, who did sin, and who made Yisroel to sin.
