2 Kings 17:13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ nevertheless, the LORD testified to Israel, and to Judah, by all the Prophets, and by all the Seers, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep My Commandments, and My Statutes, according to all the Law which I Commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants, the Prophets.”

¹⁴ Still, they would not obey, but hardened their necks (like the necks of their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God).

¹⁵ And they refused His Statutes and His Covenant that He made with their fathers, and His Testimonies with which He witnessed to them. And they followed vanity, and became empty, and followed the heathen who were all around them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them.
