10 Because of all this, I am about to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam:

I will eliminate all of Jeroboam’s males,[a]
both slave and free,[b] in Israel;
I will sweep away the house of Jeroboam
as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone!(A)
11 Anyone who belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city,
the dogs will eat,
and anyone who dies in the field,
the birds of the sky will eat,(B)
for the Lord has said it!’
