2 Kings 17:10
Compare all
8 and ahad walked in the statutes of the nations whom the Lord had cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.  
9 Also the children of Israel secretly did against the Lord their God things that were not right, and they built for themselves1 high places in all their cities, afrom watchtower to fortified city.  
10 aThey set up for themselves sacred pillars and bwooden images con every high hill and under every green tree.  
11 There they burned incense on all the high places, like the nations whom the Lord had carried away before them; and they did wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger,
12 for they served idols, aof which the Lord had said to them, b“You shall not do this thing.”  
13 Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His aprophets, bevery seer, saying, c“Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.”  
14 Nevertheless they would not hear, but astiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who bdid not believe in the Lord their God.  
15 And they arejected His statutes band His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed cidols, dbecame idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should enot do like them.  
16 So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, amade for themselves a molded image and two calves, bmade a wooden image and worshiped all the chost of heaven, dand served Baal.
