And yet H1571 they would not listen H8085 to their judges, H8199 but they went a whoring H2181 after H310 other H312 gods, H430 and bowed H7812 themselves to them: they turned H5493 quickly H4118 out of the way H1870 which H834 their fathers H1 walked H1980 in, obeying H8085 the commandments H4687 of the LORD; H3068 but they did H6213 not so. H3651

And it came H1961 to pass, as soon H834 as Gideon H1439 was dead, H4191 that the children H1121 of Israel H3478 turned H7725 again, H7725 and went a whoring H2181 after H310 Baalim, H1168 and made H7760 Baalberith H1170 their god. H430

For so it was, that the children H1121 of Israel H3478 had sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 their God, H430 which had brought H5927 them up out of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 from under H8478 the hand H3027 of Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 and had feared H3372 other H312 gods, H430

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did secretly H2644 those things H1697 that were not right H3651 against H5921 the LORD H3068 their God, H430 and they built H1129 them high H1116 places in all H3605 their cities, H5892 from the tower H4026 of the watchmen H5341 to the fenced H4013 city. H5892

And there H8033 they burnt H6999 incense H6999 in all H3605 the high H1116 places, as did the heathen H1471 whom H834 the LORD H3068 carried H1540 away H1540 before H6440 them; and worked H6213 wicked H7451 things H1697 to provoke the LORD H3068 to anger: H3707

Yet the LORD H3068 testified H5749 against Israel, H3478 and against Judah, H3063 by all H3605 the prophets, H5030 and by all H3605 the seers, H2374 saying, H559 Turn H7725 you from your evil H7451 ways, H1870 and keep H8104 my commandments H4687 and my statutes, H2708 according to all H3605 the law H8451 which H834 I commanded H6680 your fathers, H1 and which H834 I sent H7971 to you by my servants H5650 the prophets. H5030

And they rejected H3988 his statutes, H2706 and his covenant H1285 that he made H3772 with their fathers, H1 and his testimonies H5715 which H834 he testified H5749 against them; and they followed H3212 H310 vanity, H1892 and became H1891 vain, H1891 and went H3212 after H310 the heathen H1471 that were round H5439 about them, concerning whom H834 the LORD H3068 had charged H6680 them, that they should not do H6213 like them.

And they caused their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 to pass H5674 through the fire, H784 and used divination H7081 and enchantments, H5172 and sold H4376 themselves to do H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 to provoke him to anger. H3707

The beginning H8462 of the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by Hosea. H1954 And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Hosea, H1954 Go, H3212 take H3947 to you a wife H802 of prostitutions H2183 and children H3206 of prostitutions: H2183 for the land H776 has committed H2181 great prostitution, H2181 departing from the LORD. H3068

Rejoice H8055 not, O Israel, H3478 for joy, H1524 as other people: H5971 for you have gone a whoring H2181 from your God, H430 you have loved H157 a reward H868 on every H3605 corn floor. H1637 H1715

And on her forehead G3359 was a name G3686 written, G1125 MYSTERY, G3466 BABYLON G897 THE GREAT, G3173 THE MOTHER G3384 OF HARLOTS G4204 AND ABOMINATIONS G946 OF THE EARTH.H G1093

And they forsook H5800 the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers, H1 which brought H3318 them out of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and followed H3212 H310 other H312 gods, H430 of the gods H430 of the people H5971 that were round H5439 about them, and bowed H7812 themselves to them, and provoked the LORD H3068 to anger. H3707

Now it came H1961 to pass, after H310 that Amaziah H558 was come H935 from the slaughter H5221 of the Edomites, H130 that he brought H935 the gods H430 of the children H1121 of Seir, H8165 and set H5975 them up to be his gods, H430 and bowed H7812 down H7812 himself before H6440 them, and burned H6999 incense H6999 to them.

Why the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against Amaziah, H558 and he sent H7971 to him a prophet, H5030 which said H559 to him, Why H4100 have you sought H1875 after the gods H430 of the people, H5971 which H834 could not deliver H5337 their own people H5971 out of your hand? H3027

They did not destroy H8045 the nations, H5971 concerning whom H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H559 them:

And they served H5647 their idols: H6091 which were a snare H4170 to them.

And shed H8210 innocent H5355 blood, H1818 even the blood H1818 of their sons H1121 and of their daughters, H1323 whom H834 they sacrificed H2076 to the idols H6091 of Canaan: H3667 and the land H776 was polluted H2610 with blood. H1818
