1
And behold, there came a man of God out of Juda by the word of the Lord to Baethel, and Jeroboam stood at the altar to sacrifice.
2
And he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord, Behold, a son is born to the house of David, Josias by name; and he shall offer upon thee the priests of the high places, of them that sacrifice upon thee, and shall burn men's bones upon thee.
3
And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar is rent, and the fatness upon it shall be poured out.
4
And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Baethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And, behold, his hand, which he stretched forth against him, withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
5
And the altar was rent, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
