15 (A)He[a] brings all of them up (B)with a hook;
he drags them out with his net;

so he rejoices and is glad.

and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury,[b]
and his food is rich.

when (E)I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, (F)as I have seen, was like a young palm[a] planted in a meadow;
but (G)Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.[b]
14 Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them (H)a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
15 Every evil of theirs is in (I)Gilgal;
there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
all (J)their princes are (K)rebels.
16 Ephraim is stricken;
(L)their root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even (M)though they give birth,
(N)I will put their beloved children to death.
17 (O)My God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
(P)they shall be wanderers among the nations.

22 Thus says the Lord: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word, 2 and say, (A)‘Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter these gates. 3 Thus says the Lord: (B)Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And (C)do no wrong or violence (D)to the resident alien, (E)the fatherless, and the widow, nor (F)shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you will indeed obey this word, (G)then there shall enter the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants and their people. 5 But if you will not obey these words, I (H)swear by myself, declares the Lord, that (I)this house shall become a desolation. 6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah:
“‘You are like Gilead to me,
like the summit of (J)Lebanon,
yet surely I will make you a desert,
(K)an uninhabited city.[a]
7 (L)I will prepare destroyers against you,
each with his weapons,
(M)and they shall cut down your choicest cedars
and cast them into the fire.
8 “‘And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, (N)“Why has the Lord dealt thus with this great city?” 9 (O)And they will answer, “Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and worshiped other gods and served them.”’”

7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: (A)“Because I exalted you from among the people and made you leader over my people Israel 8 and (B)tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, and yet you have not been (C)like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my eyes, 9 but you have done evil above all who were before you and have gone and (D)made for yourself other gods and (E)metal images, provoking me to anger, and (F)have cast me behind your back, 10 therefore behold, I will bring harm upon the house of Jeroboam and (G)will cut off from Jeroboam every male, (H)both bond and free in Israel, and (I)will burn up the house of Jeroboam, as a man burns up dung until it is all gone. 11 (J)Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone who dies in the open country the birds of the heavens shall eat, for the Lord has spoken it.”’ 12 Arise therefore, go to your house. (K)When your feet enter the city, the child shall die. 13 And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him (L)there is found something pleasing to the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 14 (M)Moreover, the Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam today. And henceforth, 15 the Lord will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water, and (N)root up Israel out of (O)this good land that he gave to their fathers and scatter them (P)beyond the Euphrates,[a] because they have made their (Q)Asherim, provoking the Lord to anger. 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and made Israel to sin.”
