² and walketh in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also, molten images hath made for Baalim,

¹⁷ a molten god thou dost not make to thyself.

¹¹ And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,

¹⁷ And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered any more by their name.

¹³ And I have charged on her the days of the Baalim, To whom she maketh perfume, And putteth on her ring and her ornament, And goeth after her lovers, And Me forgat -- an affirmation of Jehovah.

³ he also hath walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother hath been his counsellor to do wickedly.

⁴ And he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counsellors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.

⁶ and he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab hath been to him for a wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,

²⁶ and bring out the standing-pillars of the house of Baal, and burn them,

²⁷ and break down the standing-pillar of Baal, and break down the house of Baal, and appoint it for a draught-house unto this day.

²⁸ And Jehu destroyeth Baal out of Israel,

³¹ And it cometh to pass -- hath it been light his walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat? -- then he taketh a wife, Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and goeth and serveth Baal, and boweth himself to it,

³² and raiseth up an altar for Baal, in the house of the Baal, that he built in Samaria;

³³ and Ahab maketh the shrine, and Ahab addeth to do so as to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, above all the kings of Israel who have been before him.

¹³ yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.

⁴ `Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I `am' Jehovah your God.
