1. The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2. “Because I exalted you from the dust and I made you a leader over my people Israel, but you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and you caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their sins,
3. I am now about to consume Baasha and his house. I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4. Those who die for Baasha in the city, the dogs will eat; those who die for him in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat.”
