21 Behold, I will bring disaster upon you. I will utterly burn you up, and (A)will cut off from Ahab every male, bond or free, in Israel. 22 And I will make your house like (B)the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like (C)the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the anger to which you have provoked me, and because you (D)have made Israel to sin. 23 And of Jezebel the Lord also said, (E)‘The dogs shall eat Jezebel within (F)the walls of Jezreel.’
