And have not wickedly departed from my God.

Aleph.
How blessed are those whose way is

blameless,

Who walk in the law of the Lord.

And they will sing of the ways of the Lord,
For great is the glory of the Lord.

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;

Whoever is discerning, let him know them.
For the ways of the Lord are right,
And the righteous will walk in them,
But transgressors will stumble in them.

and said, “You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord?

He took away

for he removed the foreign altars and high places, tore down the sacred pillars, cut down the

Asherim,

But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa’s heart was blameless all his days.

But

there is some good in you, for you have removed the Asheroth from the land and you have set your heart to seek God.”

The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherim and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each to his possession.

For in the eighth year of his reign while he was still a youth, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, the carved images and the molten images.

He walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the sight of the Lord. However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
