2 Kings 17:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
They served idols, although the LORD had told them, “You shall not do this thing.”
In context
10 They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
11 They burned incense on all the high places like the nations that the LORD had driven out before them. They did wicked things, provoking the LORD to anger.
12 They served idols, although the LORD had told them, “You shall not do this thing.”
13 Yet through all His prophets and seers, the LORD warned Israel and Judah, saying, “Turn from your wicked ways and keep My commandments and statutes, according to the entire Law that I commanded your fathers and delivered to you through My servants the prophets.”
14 But they would not listen, and they stiffened their necks like their fathers, who did not believe the LORD their God.
