2 Kings 17:32-41 So they were afraid of LORD, and made for them priests of the high places from among themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³² So they were afraid of LORD, and made for them priests of the high places from among themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. ³³ They were afraid of LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away. ³⁴ To this day they do after the former manner. They do not fear LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which LORD commanded the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel, ³⁵ with whom LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them. ³⁶ But LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him ye shall fear, and to him ye shall bow yourselves, and to him ye shall sacrifice. ³⁷ And the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore. And ye shall not fear other gods. ³⁸ And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget. Neither shall ye fear other gods, ³⁹ but ye shall ye fear LORD your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. ⁴⁰ However they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. ⁴¹ So these nations were afraid of LORD, and served their graven images, their sons likewise, and their son's sons, as did their fathers, so do they to this day.
