1 Kings 14:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Moreover the Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jerobo′am today. And henceforth^{[a] 15} the Lord will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and scatter them beyond the Euphra′tes, because they have made their Ashe′rim, provoking the Lord to anger. ¹⁶ And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jerobo′am, which he sinned and which he made Israel to sin.”
