21 So I am now bringing evil on you! I will burn until you are consumed, and I will eliminate everyone who urinates on a wall that belongs to Ahab, whether slave or free.
22 I will make your household like that of Jeroboam, Nebat's son, and like the household of Baasha, Ahijah's son, because of the way you've angered me and because you've made Israel sin.
23 As for Jezebel, the LORD says this: Dogs will devour Jezebel in the area of Jezreel.
24 Dogs will eat anyone of Ahab's family who dies in town, and birds will eat anyone who dies in the country."
25 (Truly there has never been anyone like Ahab who sold out by doing evil in the LORD's eyes—evil that his wife Jezebel led him to do.
