KJV - 1 Kings 14:15

For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.

The LORD will punish Israel like a reed swaying in water. He will remove them from this good land he gave their ancestors and scatter them across the river. This is because they created places of worship that angered the LORD.
