You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess."
• The word also appears in 1 Kings 14:15, where it is used to describe the LORD's judgment against Israel: "And the LORD will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave to their fathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger."
