⁴¹ You shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for ^(A)they shall go into captivity.

⁴ ‘Thus says the Lord: “You shall not go up or fight against your brethren! Let every man return to his house, for this thing is from Me.” ’ ” Therefore they obeyed the words of the Lord, and turned back from attacking Jeroboam.
