2 Kings 17:38-41 ▼

38 Do not forget the covenant that I have made with you. Do not fear other gods,

39 but fear the LORD your God, and he will rescue you from all your enemies.”

40 However, these nations would not listen but continued observing their former practices.

41 They feared the LORD but also served their idols. Still today, their children and grandchildren continue doing as their ancestors did.
