²⁹ “Have you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled^(A) himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day,^(B) but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son.”^(C)

¹⁹ Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?’^(A) Then say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth’s blood,^(B) dogs^(C) will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”

⁷ You are to destroy the house of Ahab your master, and I will avenge^(A) the blood of my servants^(B) the prophets and the blood of all the Lord’s servants shed by Jezebel.^{(C) 8} The whole house^(D) of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab every last male^(E) in Israel—slave or free.^{[a] 9} I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam^(F) son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha^(G) son of Ahijah. ¹⁰ As for Jezebel, dogs^(H) will devour her on the plot of ground at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.’” Then he opened the door and ran.

“Then they repented and said, ‘The Lord Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve,^(C) just as he determined to do.’”^(D)

³⁶ They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs^(A) will devour Jezebel’s flesh.^[a](B)

²¹ He says, ‘I am going to bring disaster on you. I will wipe out your descendants and cut off from Ahab every last male^(A) in Israel—slave or free.^{[a](B) 22} I will make your house^(C) like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have aroused my anger and have caused Israel to sin.’^(D)

²³ “And also concerning Jezebel the Lord says: ‘Dogs^(E) will devour Jezebel by the wall of^[b] Jezreel.’

²⁴ “Dogs^(F) will eat those belonging to Ahab who die in the city, and the birds^(G) will feed on those who die in the country.”

²⁹ He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie^(A) or change^(B) his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”
