The seventh, dark waters are the turning of Yarovam’s thought, when he purposed to make two calves of gold;
2
all the wickedness practiced by the kings after him;
3
Izevel’s curse and the service of carved images served by Yisra’el in that time;
4
the withholding of rain and the famines that came, until women ate the fruit of their wombs;
5
and the captivity that came upon the nine and a half tribes because they were in many sins.
6
Shalmaneser king of Ashshur came and carried them captive.
7
Concerning the nations, there is much to say—how they continually practiced injustice and wickedness and never acted righteously.
8
These are the seventh, dark waters you saw.
