14Yahweh will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam today—what am I saying? Even now!

15Yahweh will strike Israel, leaving it shaking like a reed in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that he gave to their fathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they made their Asherah poles, provoking Yahweh to anger.

16He will hand Israel over because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he committed and by which he caused Israel to sin.’”
