Verses from 1 Kings, Chapter 16 of the book of 1 Samuel of the Bible.

1. Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying:
2. “I raised you from the dust and made you leader over Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and made my people sin, provoking my anger because of your sins.
3. Therefore, I am about to destroy Baasha and his family, just as I did the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
4. The dogs will eat those who die in the city of Baasha, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the field.”

7. The word of the Lord came through the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, to Baasha and his family, because of all the evil they had done in the sight of the Lord, provoking his anger by becoming like the family of Jeroboam, and because Baasha destroyed Jeroboam's family.
