2 Kings 17:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.

¹² And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.

¹³ And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.
