2 Kings 17:15 in Context — 2 Kings 17

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.

15 E rejeitaram seus estatutos, e seu pacto que ele havia concertado com seus pais, e seus testemunhos que ele havia advertido contra eles; e seguiram a vaidade, e se fizeram vãos, e seguiram as nações que estavam ao redor deles, das quais o SENHOR havia lhes mandado que não fizessem à maneira delas;

16 E deixaram todos os mandamentos do SENHOR seu Deus, e fizeram para si imagens de dois bezerros, e também bosques, e adoraram a todo o exército do céu, e serviram a Baal:

17 E fizeram passar a seus filhos e a suas filhas por fogo; e deram-se a adivinhações e agouros, e entregaram-se a fazer o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, provocando-o à ira.
