10 and they set up for themselves pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill, and under every green tree;
11 and there they burned incense in all the high places, as the nations whom the Lord carried away before them did; and they did wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger;
12 and they served idols, of which the Lord had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”
13 Yet the Lord testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”
14 Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who didn’t believe in the Lord their God.
15 They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the Lord had commanded them that they should not do like them.
16 They abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made molten images for themselves, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served Baal.
