2 Kings 17:36-38

New International Reader's Version

³⁶ The Lord is the one you must worship. The Lord brought you up out of Egypt by his great power. He saved you by reaching out his mighty arm. You must bow down only to him. You must offer sacrifices only to him. ³⁷ You must always be careful to follow his directions and rules. You must obey the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods. ³⁸ Do not forget the covenant I made with you. And remember, you must not worship other gods.
