1 Kings 14:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 Moreover, (A)the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam this day [a]and from now on.
15 “For the Lord will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and (B)He will uproot Israel from (C)this good land which He gave to their fathers, and (D)will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, (E)because they have made their [b]Asherim, provoking the Lord to anger. 16 He will give up Israel (F)on account of the sins of Jeroboam, which he [c]committed and with which he made Israel to sin.”

New International Version
14 “The Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam. Even now this is beginning to happen.[a] 15 And the Lord will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot(A) Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused(B) the Lord’s anger by making Asherah(C) poles.[b] 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins(D) Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
