And have rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and have given it thee, and thou hast not been as my servant David, which kept my Commandments, and followed me with all his heart, and did only that which was right in mine eyes,

But hast done evil above all that were before thee (for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and [a]molten images, to provoke me, and hast cast me behind thy back.)

10 Therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that (A)[b]pisseth against the wall, as well him that [c]is shut up, as him that is left in Israel, and will sweep away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung till it be all gone.
