2 Kings 17:12 in Context — 2 Kings 17

10 E levantaram para si estátuas e bosques em todo morro alto, e debaixo de toda árvore frondosa,

11 E queimaram ali incenso em todos os altos, à maneira das nações que o SENHOR havia expulsado diante deles, e fizeram coisas muito más para provocar o SENHOR à ira,

12 Pois serviam aos ídolos, dos quais o SENHOR lhes havia dito: Vós não haveis de fazer isto;

13 O SENHOR advertia, então, contra Israel e contra Judá, por meio de todos os profetas, e de todos os videntes, dizendo: Convertei-vos de vossos maus caminhos, e guardai meus mandamentos e minhas ordenanças, conforme a todas as leis que eu prescrevi a vossos pais, e que os enviei por meio de meus servos, os profetas.

14 Mas eles não obedeceram, antes endureceram sua cerviz, como a cerviz de seus pais, os quais não creram no SENHOR seu Deus.
