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.

³⁴ He did evil^(A) in the eyes of the Lord, following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

³⁰ This happened because of the sins^(A) Jeroboam had committed and had caused^(B) Israel to commit, and because he aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel.

³⁴ This was the sin^(A) of the house of Jeroboam that led to its downfall and to its destruction^(B) from the face of the earth.

³⁰ And this thing became a sin;^(A) the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.^[a]

¹³ Therefore let us stop passing judgment^(A) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.^(B)

⁷ Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!^(A)
