That I may make you a [a]desolation,
And your inhabitants a hissing.
Therefore you shall bear the (C)reproach of [b]My people.”

1 Kings 16:25-33
New King James Version
25 (A)Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all who were before him. 26 For he (B)walked in all the ways of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin, provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their (C)idols.[a]
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28 So Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. Then Ahab his son reigned in his place.
Ahab Reigns in Israel
29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before him. 31 And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (D)that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the (E)Sidonians; (F)and he went and served Baal and worshiped him. 32 Then he set up an altar for Baal in (G)the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 33 (H)And Ahab made a [b]wooden image. Ahab (I)did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
