2 Kings 17:13-15

Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Still, the Lord warned^(A) Israel and Judah through every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep my commands and statutes according to the whole law I commanded your ancestors and sent to you through my servants the prophets.”^(B)

¹⁴ But they would not listen. Instead they became obstinate like^[a] their ancestors who did not believe the Lord their God.^{(C) 15} They rejected his statutes and his covenant he had made with their ancestors^(D) and the warnings he had given them. They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves,^(E) following the surrounding nations the Lord had commanded them not to imitate.^(F)
