But you ·are not [have not been] like my servant David, who always obeyed my commands and followed me with all his heart. He did only what ·I said was right [^Lwhat was right in my eyes/sight]. ⁹ But you have done more evil than ·anyone who ruled [all who were] before you. You have ·quit following me [turned your back on me; ^Lthrown me behind your back] and have made other gods and idols of metal. This has ·made me very angry [provoked/aroused my anger],
