And they built them Hill altars in all their cities, both in the towers where they kept watch and also in the strong towns. ¹⁰ And they made them images and groves on every high hill and under every green tree. ¹¹ And there they sacrificed in the Hill altars, as did the heathen which the LORD carried away at their coming, and wrought wicked deeds, to anger the LORD withal. ¹² And they served Idols, whereof the LORD had said to them, "Ye shall not do so." ¹³ And the LORD testified to Israel and to Judah, by all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, "Turn from your wicked ways and keep my commandments and mine ordinances according to all the laws which I commanded your fathers, and as I sent to you by my servants the prophets." ¹⁴ Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the necks of their fathers that did not believe the LORD their God. ¹⁵ And they refused his ordinances and his covenant that he had made with their fathers, and the witness which he had witnessed to them and followed vanity and became vain, like to the heathen that were round about them, of which the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. ¹⁶ But they left the commandments of the LORD their God and made them Images of metal, even two calves: and made groves and bowed themselves unto all the Host of heaven, and served Baal. ¹⁷ And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters in fire, and used witchcraft and enchantments, and were sold to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, for to anger him. ¹⁸ Wherefore the LORD was exceeding wroth with Israel and put them out of his sight, that there was left but the tribe of Judah only.

¹⁴ And it chanced, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, and had brought the gods of the children of Seir, he set them up to be his gods, and bowed himself before them and burned cense unto them. ¹⁵ Wherefore the LORD was wroth with Amaziah and sent to him a prophet, and said to him, "Why seekest thou the gods of the people which were not able to deliver their own people out of thine hands?"

³⁴ Neither destroyed they the Heathen, as the LORD commanded them, ³⁵ but were mingled among the Heathen, and learned their works - ³⁶ insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay. ³⁷ Yea, they offered their sons and their daughters unto devils, ³⁸ and shed the innocent blood of their sons and of their daughters; whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan, so that the land was defiled with blood. ³⁹ Thus were they stained with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

² First, when the LORD spake unto Hosea, he said unto him, "Go thy way, take a harlot to thy wife, and get children by her: for the land hath committed great whoredom against the LORD."

¹ Do not thou triumph, O Israel; make no boasting more than the Heathen. For thou hast committed adultery against thy God: strange rewards hast thou loved, more than all the corn floors.

⁵ And in her forehead was a name written, a mystery: "Great Babylon, the mother of whoredom and abominations of the earth."

¹ And the LORD was wroth again against Israel, and stirred up David against them, saying, "Go and number both Israel and Judah."

¹⁹ And Pul, king of Assyria, came upon the land. And Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, to help him to establish his kingdom.

¹¹ And the king of Assiria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor on the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

¹² Hath the gods of the heathen delivered them which mine ancestors have destroyed: as Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?

⁶ and Beerah was his son. Which Beerah, Tilgathpilneser, king of Assyria, carried away: for he was a great lord among the Reubenites.

¹¹ Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the Captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh in a hold and bound him with chains and carried him to Babylon.

⁵ Then gat up the principal fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, and all they whose spirit God had raised to go up, and to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem.

⁵ Woe be also unto Assyria, which is a staff of my wrath, in whose hand is the rod of my punishment. ⁶ For I shall send him among those hypocritical people, among the people that have deserved my disfavour shall I send him: that he may utterly rob them, spoil them, and tread them down like the mire in the street.

² Lift up the banner upon the high hill, call unto them; hold up your hand, that the princes may go in at the door. ³ For I will send for my deputies and my giants, sayeth the LORD, and in my wrath I will call for such as triumph in my glory. ⁴ There is a noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people, a rushing as though the kingdoms of all nations had come together. And the LORD of Hosts mustereth his army to battle. ⁵ They come not only out of far countries, but also from the ends of the heavens: Even the LORD himself with the ministers of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.

¹² Were the people of the Gentiles - whom my progenitors conquered - delivered at any time through their gods? As namely, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which dwell at Telassar.
