2 Chronicles 33:3-7
New King James Version
3 For he rebuilt the [a]high places which Hezekiah his father had (A)broken down; he raised up altars for the Baals, and (B)made wooden images; and he worshiped (C)all [b]the host of heaven and served them. 4 He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, (D)“In Jerusalem shall My name be forever.” 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven (E)in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 (F)Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced (G)soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and (H)consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 7 (I)He even set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the [c]house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, (J)“In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever;

Israel Restored at Last
14 O Israel, (A)return to the Lord your God,
For you have stumbled because of your iniquity;
2 Take words with you,
And return to the Lord.
Say to Him,
“Take away all iniquity;
Receive us graciously,
For we will offer the (B)sacrifices[a] of our lips.
3 Assyria shall (C)not save us,
(D)We will not ride on horses,
Nor will we say anymore to the work of our hands, ‘You are our gods.’
(E)For in You the fatherless finds mercy.”

20 (A)The soul who sins shall die. (B)The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. (C)The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, (D)and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
21 “But (E)if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 (F)None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall (G)live.

Isaiah 2:17-21
New King James Version
17 The [a]loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols [b]He shall utterly abolish.
19 They shall go into the (A)holes of the rocks,
And into the caves of the [c]earth,
(B)From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises (C)to shake the earth mightily.
20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
