And they set up for themselves memorial stones and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree,

And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

and there they burned incense on all the high places as the nations did that the LORD had taken into exile before them; and they did evil things, provoking the LORD.

And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the Lord carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger:

They served idols, concerning which the LORD had said to them, "You shall not do this thing."

For they served idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

Yet the LORD warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and every seer, saying, "Turn back from your evil ways and keep My commandments and My statutes in accordance with all the Law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets."

Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

However, they did not listen, but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God.

Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God.

They rejected His statutes and His covenant which He made with their fathers, and His warnings which He gave them. And they followed idols and became empty, and followed the nations that surrounded them, about which the LORD had commanded them not to do as they did.

And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them.

And they abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves cast metal images: two calves. And they made an Asherah, and worshiped all the heavenly lights, and served Baal.

So the LORD was very angry with Israel, and He removed them from His sight; no one was left except the tribe of Judah.

Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God either, but they followed the customs which Israel had introduced.

Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

So the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them and handed them over to plunderers, until He had cast them out of His sight.

For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord , and made them sin a great sin.

And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he committed; they did not desist from them

For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

until the LORD removed Israel from His sight, just as He had spoken through all His servants the prophets. So Israel went into exile from their own land to Assyria until this day.

Until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
