2 Kings 17:12-14

21st Century King James Version

¹² For they served idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, “Ye shall not do this thing.”

¹³ Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah by all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, “Turn ye 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 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks like the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God.
