²⁶ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of his father, and the sin which he did and made Israel do.

¹⁶ And he will give Israel up because of the sins which Jeroboam has done and made Israel do.

³⁴ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of Jeroboam and the sin which he made Israel do.

³⁰ Because of the sins which Jeroboam did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath.

³³ After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.

³⁴ And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.

²⁸ So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

²⁹ And he put one in Beth-el and the other in Dan.

³⁰ And this became a sin in Israel; for the people went to give worship to the one at Beth-el, and to the other at Dan.

³¹ And he made places for worship at the high places, and made priests, who were not Levites, from among all the people.

³² And Jeroboam gave orders for a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast which is kept in Judah, and he went up to the altar. And in the same way, in Beth-el, he gave offerings to the oxen which he had made, placing in Beth-el the priests of the high places he had made.

³³ He went up to the altar he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the month fixed by him at his pleasure; and he gave orders for a feast for the people of Israel, and went up to the altar, and there he made the smoke of his offerings go up.

¹⁵ And the altar at Beth-el, and the high place put up by Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil, that altar and that high place were pulled down; and the high place was burned and crushed to dust and the Asherah was burned.

³⁵ And they put up the high places of the Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, making their sons and their daughters go through the fire to Molech; which I did not give them orders to do, and it never came into my mind that they would do this disgusting thing, causing Judah to be turned out of the way.

¹⁵ And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

¹⁰ For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?

¹¹ And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.

¹² And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.

¹³ For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

¹¹ Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,

³ But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.

²¹ And Moses said to Aaron, What did the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?

²⁴ No, my sons, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.

⁷ And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he put it to death.

¹⁹ Because of his sin in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, in going in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel do.

²⁵ And Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all those before him,

²⁶ Copying all the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and all the sins he did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish ways.

³⁰ And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all who went before him.

²² And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha, the son of Ahijah, because you have made me angry, and have made Israel do evil.

⁵² He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, going in the ways of his father and his mother, and in the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil.

⁹ Then Abimelech sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are not to be done.
