2 Kings 17:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Notwithstanding the Lord testified to Israel, and to Judah [a]by all the Prophets, and by all the Seers, saying, (A)Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments, and my statutes, according to all the Law, which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the Prophets.
14 Nevertheless they would not obey, (B)but hardened their necks, like to the necks of their [b]fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God.
15 And they refused his statutes and his covenant, that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies (wherewith he witnessed unto them) and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the heathen that were round about them: concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them.
