³⁴ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of Jeroboam and the sin which he made Israel do.

²⁶ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of his father, and the sin which he did and made Israel do.

²⁸ So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

²⁹ And he put one in Beth-el and the other in Dan.

¹⁶ And he will give Israel up because of the sins which Jeroboam has done and made Israel do.

³³ After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.

³⁴ And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.

⁴ O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.
