2 Kings 17:9-18

Brenton_Greek(i) 9 καὶ ὅσοι ἠμφιέσαντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ λόγους, οὐχ οὕτως κατὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς ὑψηλὰ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ πύργου φυλασσόντων ἕως πόλεως ὀχυρᾶς, 10 καὶ ἐστήλωσαν ἑαυτοῖς στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ παντὶ βουνῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους, 11 καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν ὑψηλοῖς, καθὼς τὰ ἔθνη ἃ ἀπῴκισε Κύριος ἐκ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν κοινωνοὺς, καὶ ἐχάραξαν τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν Κύριον, 12 καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς εἰδώλοις οἷς εἶπε Κύριος αὐτοῖς, οὐ ποιήσετε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο τῷ Κυρίῳ.
13 Καὶ διεμαρτύρατο Κύριος ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ παντὸς ὁρῶντος, λέγων, ἀποστράφητε ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν τῶν πονηρῶν, καὶ φυλάξατε τὰς ἐντολάς μου, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου, καὶ πάντα τὸν νόμον ὃν ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, ὅσα ἀπέστειλα αὐτοῖς ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων μου τῶν προφητῶν. 14 Καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν, καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὸν νῶτον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν. 15 Καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ ὅσα διεμαρτύρατο αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἐφύλαξαν, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων, καὶ ἐματαιώθησαν, καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν, ὧν ἐνετείλατο Κύριος αὐτοῖς μὴ ποιῆσαι κατὰ ταῦτα. 16 Ἐγκατέλιπον τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς χώνευμα δύο δαμάλεις, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἄλση, καὶ προσεκύνησαν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τῷ Βάαλ. 17 Καὶ διῆγον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ, καὶ ἐμαντεύοντο μαντείας, καὶ οἰωνίζοντο· καὶ ἐπράθησαν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
18 Καὶ ἐθυμώθη Κύριος σφόδρα ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη πλὴν φυλὴ Ἰούδα μονωτάτη.
