2 Kings 17:33-35

The Voice

³³ They feared Him while at the same time honoring the gods of the nations from where they had been exiled.

³⁴ Still today, they honor the earlier traditions of the wicked people before them, and they fail to revere the Eternal properly. They do not honor the sacred laws and judgments that He gave to the descendants of Jacob (whom He called Israel). ³⁵ He entered into a sacred covenant with the new Samaritans and gave them the same sacred commands to follow.
