1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
1
Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani concerning Baasha:
2 "Inasmuch as I exalted you from the dust and made you leader over My people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made My people Israel sin, provoking Me to anger with their sins,
2
“I lifted you up from the dust and appointed you ruler over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins.
3 behold, I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
3
So I am about to wipe out Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
