2 Kings 17:38-41 ▼

38 And the covenant that I have cut with you, you shall not forget, nor shall you fear other gods.

39 But Yahweh your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”

40 However, they did not listen, but they were acting according to their earlier custom.

41 So while these nations were fearing Yahweh, they also were serving their graven images; their children likewise and their grandchildren, as their fathers acted, so they are acting this way to this day.
