2 Kings 17:13 in Context — 2 Kings 17

11 Et là ils brûlèrent des parfums sur tous les hauts lieux, comme les nations que l’Éternel avait chassées devant eux, et ils firent des choses mauvaises, par lesquelles ils irritèrent l’Éternel.

12 Ils servirent les idoles dont l’Éternel leur avait dit: Vous ne ferez pas cela.

13 L’Éternel fit avertir Israël et Juda par tous ses prophètes, par tous les voyants, et leur dit: Revenez de vos mauvaises voies, et observez mes commandements et mes ordonnances, en suivant entièrement la loi que j’ai prescrite à vos pères et que je vous ai envoyée par mes serviteurs les prophètes.

14 Mais ils n’écoutèrent point, et ils roidirent leur cou, comme leurs pères, qui n’avaient pas cru en l’Éternel, leur Dieu.

15 Ils rejetèrent ses lois, l’alliance qu’il avait faite avec leurs pères, et les avertissements qu’il leur avait adressés. Ils allèrent après des choses de néant et ne furent eux-mêmes que néant, et après les nations qui les entouraient et que l’Éternel leur avait défendu d’imiter.
