2 Kings 17:15 in Context — 2 Kings 17
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.
16 Ils abandonnèrent tous les commandements de l’Éternel, leur Dieu, ils se firent deux veaux en fonte, ils fabriquèrent des idoles d’Astarté, ils se prosternèrent devant toute l’armée des cieux, et ils servirent Baal.
17 Ils firent passer par le feu leurs fils et leurs filles, ils se livrèrent à la divination et aux enchantements, et ils se vendirent pour faire ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel, afin de l’irriter.
