1. Then the Devar Hashem came to Yehu Ben Chanani against Ba'asha, saying,
2. Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the aphar (dust), and made thee nagid over My people Yisroel; and thou hast walked in the derech Yarov`am, and hast caused My people Yisroel to sin, to provoke Me to anger with their chattot;
3. Hineni, I will sweep away after Ba'asha, and after his Bais; and I will make thy Bais like the Bais Yarov`am Ben Nevat.
4. Him that dieth of Ba'asha in the Ir shall the kelavim eat; and him that dieth of his in the sadeh (country) shall the oph HaShomayim eat.
