But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, for he made graven images.

And he burnt incense upon the high places, and upon the roofs, and under every shady tree.

I will seek after the gods of Damascus that attack me. And he said, Forasmuch as the gods of the king of Syria themselves strengthen them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, and they will help me. But they became a stumbling block to him, and to all Israel.

And in every single city in Judah he made high places to burn incense to strange gods. And they provoked the Lord God of their fathers.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for everyone that is left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book that was found; for great is the wrath of the Lord [which] has been kindled amongst us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things written in this book.

But after that our fathers provoked the God of heaven, [and] He gave them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean, king of Babylon, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people away captive to Babylon.

From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day; and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, by captivity, by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at this day.

But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not hearken to Your commandments,

And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping Your covenant and Your mercy, let not all this trouble seem little in Your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria even to this day.

O Lord, You are my strength and my help, and my refuge in days of evil. To You the Gentiles shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, How worthless [were the] idols [which] our fathers procured for themselves, and there is no help in them.

Did not the Lord remember the incense which you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem- you, and your fathers, and your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land? Did it not enter into His heart?

Our fathers sinned, and are not: we have borne their iniquities.

O Lord, Your mercy is over all: let Your wrath turn away, I pray, and Your anger from Your city Jerusalem, [even] Your holy mountain; for we have sinned, and because of our iniquities, and those of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach among all that are round about us.

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'

And you, fill up then, the measure of your fathers' guilt.

For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn out for themselves broken cisterns, which will not be able to hold water.

Has not your forsaking Me brought these things upon you? Says the Lord your God.

They said to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You have begotten me; and they have turned [their] backs to Me, and not their faces. Yet in the time of their afflictions they will say, Arise, and save us.

And He brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.
