2 Kings 17:40 In-Context

38 et pactum quod percussi vobiscum nolite oblivisci nec colatis deos alienos

39 sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum

40 illi vero non audierunt sed iuxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant

41 fuerunt igitur gentes istae timentes quidem Dominum sed nihilominus et idolis suis servientes nam et filii eorum et nepotes sicut fecerunt parentes sui ita faciunt usque in praesentem diem
