Why Israel Fell
7 This disaster happened because the people of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God who had brought them out of the land of Egypt from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt(A) and because they had worshiped[a] other gods.(B) 8 They had lived according to the customs of the nations that the Lord had dispossessed before the Israelites(C) and the customs the kings of Israel had introduced.(D) 9 The Israelites secretly did what was not right[b] against the Lord their God. They built high places in all their towns from watchtower(E) to fortified city.
