2 Kings 17:11-13
New English Translation

11 They burned incense on all the high places just like the nations whom the Lord had driven away before them did. Their evil practices made the Lord angry.[a] 12 They worshiped[b] the disgusting idols[c] in blatant disregard of the Lord’s command.[d]

13 The Lord solemnly warned Israel and Judah through all his prophets and all the seers, “Turn back from your evil ways; obey my commandments and rules that are recorded in the law. I ordered your ancestors to keep this law and sent my servants the prophets to remind you of its demands.”[e]
