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)

2 Kings 17:13-15
New International Version
13 The Lord warned(A) Israel and Judah through all his prophets and seers:(B) “Turn from your evil ways.(C) Observe my commands and decrees, in accordance with the entire Law that I commanded your ancestors to obey and that I delivered to you through my servants the prophets.”(D)
14 But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked(E) as their ancestors, who did not trust in the Lord their God. 15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant(F) he had made with their ancestors and the statutes he had warned them to keep. They followed worthless idols(G) and themselves became worthless.(H) They imitated the nations(I) around them although the Lord had ordered them, “Do not do as they do.”
