2 Kings 17:12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹² They served idols, ^(A)concerning which the Lord had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.” ¹³ Yet the ^(B)Lord warned Israel and Judah ^[a](C)through all His prophets and ^(D)every seer, saying, “^(E)Turn back from your evil ways and keep My commandments and My statutes in accordance with all the Law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you ^[b]through My servants the prophets.” ¹⁴ However, they did not listen, but ^(F)stiffened their neck ^[c]like their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God.
