Bible in Basic English
For the outcry he made by the word of the Lord against the altar in Beth-el and against all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, will certainly come about.
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.
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.

“because the message that he announced as the LORD’s message against the altar in Bethel and against all the temples on the high places in the cities of the north will certainly be fulfilled.” A Prophet Announces the End of Jeroboam’s Dynasty After this happened, Jeroboam still did not change his evil ways; he continued to appoint common people as priests at the high places.
