2 Kings 17:13

2 Kings 17:13 In-Context

11 They burned incense on all the high places just like those nations that the Lord had driven out before them. They did evil things, provoking the Lord.
12 They served idols, although the Lord had told them, "You must not do this."
13 Still, the Lord warned Israel and Judah through every prophet and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments and statutes according to all the law I commanded your ancestors and sent to you through My servants the prophets."
14 But they would not listen. Instead, they became obstinate like their ancestors who did not believe the Lord their God.
15 They rejected His statutes and His covenant He had made with their ancestors and the warnings He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and became worthless themselves, following the surrounding nations the Lord had commanded them not to imitate.
