2 Kings 10:29-31
EasyEnglish Bible
29 But Jehu did not turn away from the sins of Nebat's son, Jeroboam. Jeroboam had caused Israel to worship images of calves. There were still gold calves at Bethel and Dan. 30 The Lord said to Jehu, ‘You have done well. You have done the things that I say are right. You have punished Ahab's family in the way that I wanted. So your descendants will be kings of Israel for four generations.’[a] 31 But Jehu was not careful to obey completely the law of the Lord, Israel's God. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam which he had caused Israel to do.

29 However, he did not turn away from the sins(A) of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves(B) at Bethel(C) and Dan.
30 The Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”(D) 31 Yet Jehu was not careful(E) to keep the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins(F) of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit.
