2 And Je·hoʹash+ kept doing what was right in Jehovah’s eyes+ all the days of Je·hoiʹa·da the priest.+

18 And gradually they left the house of Jehovah the God of their forefathers and began serving the sacred poles+ and the idols,+ so that there came to be indignation against Judah and Jerusalem because of this guilt of theirs.+

4 “‘Do not become like YOUR fathers+ to whom the former prophets called,+ saying: “This is what Jehovah* of armies has said, ‘Return, please, from YOUR bad ways and from YOUR bad dealings.’”’+

“‘But they did not listen, and they paid no attention to me,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.
