22 1And Judah did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and they 2provoked him to jealousy with their sins that they committed, more than all that their fathers had done.
23 For they also built for themselves 3high places 4and pillars and 5Asherim on every high hill and 6under every green tree,
24 and there were also 7male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.
