2 Kings 17:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² and they served idols, a practice that the Lord had warned them, “You are not to do this.”

¹³ Nevertheless, the Lord had warned both Israel and Judah by means^[a] of every prophet and seer: “Turn away from your evil practices^[b] and keep my commandments and statutes according to the entire Law that I gave your ancestors and that I sent to you through my servants, the prophets.” ¹⁴ But they would not listen. Instead, they were stubborn,^[c] just like their ancestors had been, who did not believe in the Lord their God.
