Israel Deported To Assyria And The Reasons It Fell

9 The children of Israel secretly did things that were not right according to Jehovah their God. They built high places for themselves in all their towns, from the watchtower to the walled towns. 10 They set for themselves sacred pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree, 11 They burned their offerings in all the high places, as those nations did whom Jehovah sent away from them. They did evil things, moving Jehovah to anger.
