2 Kings 17:13-15

English Standard Version

¹³ Yet the Lord ^(A)warned Israel and Judah ^(B)by every prophet ^(C)and every seer, saying, ^(D)“Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”

¹⁴ But they would not listen, ^(E)but were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the Lord their God. ¹⁵ They despised his statutes ^(F)and his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after ^(G)false idols ^(H)and became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the ^(I)Lord had commanded them that they should not do like them.
