Expanded Bible

⁴⁰ But the Israelites did not listen. They ·kept on doing the same things they had done before [continued in their former practices/custom]. ⁴¹ So these nations ·honored [revered; feared] the Lord but also ·worshiped [served] their idols, and their children and grandchildren still do as their ·ancestors [fathers] did.
