15 “So Yahweh will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and (A)He will uproot Israel from (B)this good land which He gave to their fathers, and (C)will scatter them beyond the [a]River, (D)because they have made their [b]Asherim, provoking Yahweh to anger. 16 And He will give Israel over (E)on account of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and with which he made Israel to sin.”
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife arose and went away and came to (F)Tirzah. (G)As she was entering the threshold of the house, the child died.

New International Version
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.[a] 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins(D) Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and left and went to Tirzah.(E) As soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.
