1 Kings 16:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² “I lifted you up from the dust. I appointed you king over my people Israel. But you lived the way Jeroboam had lived. You also caused my people Israel to sin. And their sins made me very angry. ³ So I am about to destroy you, Baasha, and your royal house. I will make your house like the royal house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. ⁴ Some of the people who belong to you will die in the city. Dogs will eat them up. Others will die in the country. The birds will eat them.”
