2 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;
2 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
2 He practiced what the LORD considered to be evil, though not like the kings of Israel who had preceded him.

4 But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea, who had sent messengers to So king of Egypt and had offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year; so the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.
4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
4 But the king of Assyria discovered Hoshea’s conspiracy. He had sent envoys to So king of Egypt(E) and had not paid tribute money to the king of Assyria as in previous years.(a) Therefore the king of Assyria arrested him and put him in prison.
4 But the king of Assyria uncovered a conspiracy involving Hoshea, who had sent envoys to King So of Egypt and stopped offering tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done annually. As a result, the king of Assyria placed him under arrest and sent him to prison.

7 And it cometh to pass, because the sons of Israel have sinned against Jehovah their God -- who bringeth them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt -- and fear other gods,
7 Now (J)this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, (K)who had brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, (L)and they had (a)feared other gods
7 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
7 This disaster happened because the people of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God who had brought them out of the land of Egypt from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt(J) and because they had worshiped(b) other gods.(K)
7 This happened because the Israelis had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt and from the domination of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, because they were fearing other gods,
8 and walk in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel that they made;

8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
8 They had lived according to the customs of the nations that the Lord had dispossessed before the Israelites(L) and the customs the kings of Israel had introduced.(M)
8 and because they were following the rules of the nations whom the LORD had expelled before the Israelis and that the kings of Israel had practiced.
9 and the sons of Israel do covertly things that are not right against Jehovah their God, and build for them high places in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers unto the fenced city,

10 and set up for them standing-pillars and shrines on every high height, and under every green tree,

10 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:
10 They set up for themselves sacred pillars(O) and Asherah poles(P) on every high hill and under every green tree.(Q)
10 They set up pillars and Asherim on every high hill and in the shade of every green tree,
11 and make perfume there in all high places, like the nations that Jehovah removed from their presence, and do evil things to provoke Jehovah,

13 And Jehovah testifieth against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and every seer, saying, 'Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent unto you by the hand of My servants the prophets;'
13 Yet the (S)Lord warned Israel and Judah (T)through all His prophets and (U)every seer, saying, “(V)Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets.”
13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

14 and they have not hearkened, and harden their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not remain stedfast in Jehovah their God,
14 However, they did not listen, but (W)stiffened their neck (f)like their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God.
14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
14 But they would not listen. Instead they became obstinate like(d) their ancestors who did not believe the Lord their God.(U)
14 But they would not listen. Instead, they were stubborn, just like their ancestors had been, who did not believe in the LORD their God.
15 and reject His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and go after the vain thing, and become vain, and after the nations that are round about them, of whom Jehovah commanded them not to do like them;
15 (X)They rejected His statutes and (Y)His covenant which He made with their fathers and His warnings with which He warned them. And (Z)they followed vanity and (AA)became vain, and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the (AB)Lord had commanded them not to do like them.
15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
15 They rejected His statutes and His covenant He had made with their ancestors(V) and the decrees He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and became worthless themselves,(W) following the surrounding nations the Lord had commanded them not to imitate.(X)
15 They rejected the LORD's statutes, the covenant that he had made with their ancestors, and his warnings that he gave them.

18 That Jehovah sheweth himself very angry against Israel, and turneth them aside from His presence; none hath been left, only the tribe of Judah by itself.
18 So the Lord was very angry with Israel and (AJ)removed them from His (h)sight; (AK)none was left except the tribe of Judah.
18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
18 Therefore, the Lord was very angry with Israel, and He removed them from His presence.(AF) Only the tribe of Judah remained.(AG)
18 As a result, the LORD was angry with Israel and removed them from his presence. No one was left except for the tribe of Judah.
19 Also Judah hath not kept the commands of Jehovah their God, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
19 Also (AL)Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but (AM)walked in the (i)customs (j)which Israel had (k)introduced.

20 And Jehovah kicketh against all the seed of Israel, and afflicteth them, and giveth them into the hand of spoilers, till that He hath cast them out of His presence,

20 And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

20 so the LORD rejected all of the descendants of Israel, afflicted them, and handed them over to the control of plunderers until he had thrown them away from his presence.
21 for He hath rent Israel from the house of David, and they make Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam driveth Israel from after Jehovah, and hath caused them to sin a great sin,
21 When (AO)He had torn Israel from the house of David, (AP)they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Then (AQ)Jeroboam drove Israel away from following the Lord and made them (n)commit a great sin.
21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
21 When the Lord tore(AK) Israel from the house of David, Israel made Jeroboam son of Nebat king.(AL) Then Jeroboam led Israel away from following the Lord and caused them to commit great sin.
21 He ripped them away from the heritage of David, even as the people appointed Nebat's son Jeroboam to be king. Jeroboam drove Israel away from following the LORD and made them commit great sin.
22 and the sons of Israel walk in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did, they have not turned aside therefrom,
22 The sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them
22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
22 The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam committed and did not turn away from them.(AM)
22 The Israelis practiced all the sins that Jeroboam had practiced, and never wavered from them
23 till that Jehovah hath turned Israel aside from His presence, as He spake by the hand of all His servants the prophets, and Israel is removed from off its land to Asshur, unto this day.
23 (AR)until the Lord removed Israel from His sight, (AS)as He spoke through all His servants the prophets. (AT)So Israel was carried away into exile from their own land to Assyria until this day.
23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
23 Finally, the Lord removed Israel from His presence just as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel has been exiled to Assyria from their homeland until today.(AN)
23 until the LORD removed Israel from his presence, just as he had warned through all of his prophets who served him. So Israel was carried off into exile from their own land into Assyria, where they remain to this day.
24 And the king of Asshur bringeth in from Babylon and from Cutha, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and causeth them to dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel, and they possess Samaria, and dwell in its cities;
24 (AU)The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from (o)(AV)Avva and from (AW)Hamath and Sepharvaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.
24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
24 Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in place of the Israelites in the cities of Samaria. The settlers took possession of Samaria and lived in its cities.(AO)
24 Because the king of Assyria brought captives from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sephar-vaim and settled them in the cities of Samaria to replace the Israelis, the settlers possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.
25 and it cometh to pass, at the commencement of their dwelling there, they have not feared Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send among them the lions, and they are destroying among them.
25 At the beginning of their living there, they (AX)did not fear the Lord; therefore the Lord sent lions among them which killed some of them.
25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
25 When they first lived there, they did not fear Yahweh. So the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them.(AP)
25 When they first began to live there, the settlers did not fear the LORD, so he sent lions among them, and they killed a few of them.
26 And they speak to the king of Asshur, saying, 'The nations that thou hast removed, and dost place in the cities of Samaria, have not known the custom of the God of the land, and He sendeth among them the lions, and lo, they are destroying them, as they do not know the custom of the God of the land.'
26 So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations whom you have carried away into exile in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the god of the land; so he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them because they do not know the custom of the god of the land.”
26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
26 The settlers spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations that you have deported and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the God of the land. Therefore He has sent lions among them that are killing them because the people don’t know the requirements of the God of the land.”
26 As a result, they reported to the king of Assyria, "Because the nations whom you exiled to live in the cities of Samaria don't know the law of the god of the land, he has sent lions among them. Look how the lions are killing them, because they don't know the law of the god of the land!"
27 And the king of Asshur commandeth, saying, 'Cause to go thither one of the priests whom ye removed thence, and they go and dwell there, and he doth teach them the custom of the God of the land.'
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Take there one of the priests whom you carried away into (p)exile and let (q)him go and live there; and let him teach them the custom of the god of the land.”
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
27 Then the king of Assyria issued a command: “Send back one of the priests you deported.(AQ) Have him go and live there so he can teach them the requirements of the God of the land.”
27 So the king of Assyria issued this order: "Take one of the priests whom you carried away and let him go back and live there. Let him teach them the law of the god of the land."
28 And one of the priests whom they removed from Samaria cometh in, and dwelleth in Beth-El, and he is teaching them how they do fear Jehovah,
28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away into exile from Samaria came and lived at Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.
28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
28 So one of the priests they had deported came and lived in Bethel,(AR) and he began to teach them how they should fear Yahweh.
28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria went to live in Bethel to teach them how they ought to fear the LORD.
29 and they are making each nation its gods, and place them in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans have made, each nation in their cities where they are dwelling.
29 But every nation still made gods of its own and put them (AY)in the houses of the high places which the people of Samaria had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.
29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
29 But the people of each nation were still making their own gods in the cities where they lived and putting them in the shrines of the high places that the people of Samaria had made.(AS)
29 Nevertheless, each nation continued to craft their own gods and install them in the temples on the high places that the people of Samaria had constructed every nation in their own cities where they continued to live.

32 And they are fearing Jehovah, and make to themselves from their extremities priests of high places, and they are acting for them in the house of the high places.
32 (BD)They also feared the Lord and (r)(BE)appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who acted for them in the houses of the high places.
32 So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
32 They feared the Lord, but they also appointed from their number priests to serve them in the shrines of the high places.(AU)
32 Because they feared the LORD, they also appointed from among themselves priests for the high places who acted on their behalf in the temples on the high places.
33 Jehovah they are fearing, and their gods they are serving, according to the custom of the nations whence they removed them.
33 They feared the Lord and served their own gods according to the custom of the nations from among whom they had been carried away into exile.
33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
33 They feared the Lord, but they also worshiped their own gods(AV) according to the custom of the nations where they had been deported from.
33 While they continued to fear the LORD, they served their own gods, following the custom of the nations whom they had carried away from there.
34 Unto this day they are doing according to the former customs -- they are not fearing Jehovah, and are not doing according to their statutes, and according to their ordinances, and according to the law, and according to the command, that Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob whose name He made Israel,
34 To this day they do according to the earlier customs: they do not fear the Lord, nor do they (s)follow their statutes or their ordinances or the law, or the commandments which the Lord commanded the sons of Jacob, (BF)whom He named Israel;
34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
34 They are still practicing the former customs to this day. None of them fear the Lord or observe their statutes and ordinances, the law and commandments the Lord commanded the descendants of Jacob. He had renamed him Israel.(AW)
34 To this very day, they still follow the former customs: they don't fear the LORD and they don't live in accordance with the statutes, ordinances, laws, or commandments that the LORD had given to the descendants of Jacob whom he renamed Israel
35 and Jehovah maketh with them a covenant, and chargeth them, saying, 'Ye do not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them,
35 with whom the Lord made a covenant and commanded them, saying, “(BG)You shall not fear other gods, nor (BH)bow down yourselves to them nor (BI)serve them nor sacrifice to them.
35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
35 The Lord made a covenant with them and commanded them, “Do not fear other gods; do not bow down to them;(AX) do not serve them; do not sacrifice to them.(AY)
35 and with whom the LORD had made a covenant when he gave these orders to them:
36 but Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a stretched-out arm, Him ye do fear, and to Him ye bow yourselves, and to Him ye do sacrifice;
36 But the Lord, (BJ)who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and with (BK)an outstretched arm, (BL)Him you shall fear, and to Him you shall bow yourselves down, and to Him you shall sacrifice.
36 But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
36 Instead fear the Lord, who brought you from the land of Egypt with great power(AZ) and an outstretched arm.(BA) You are to bow down to Him, and you are to sacrifice to Him.
36 "You are not to fear other gods, bow down to them, serve them, or sacrifice to them. Instead, it is to be the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, showing great power and public demonstrations of might, whom you are to fear, worship, and to whom you are to offer sacrifice.
37 and the statutes, and the judgments, and the law, and the command, that He wrote for you, ye observe to do all the days, and ye do not fear other gods;
37 The statutes and the ordinances and the law and the commandment which He wrote for you, (BM)you shall observe to do forever; and you shall not fear other gods.
37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
37 You are to be careful always(BB) to observe the statutes, the ordinances, the law, and the commandments He wrote for you; do not fear other gods.
37 Furthermore, you are to be careful to observe forever the statutes, ordinances, law, and the commandment that he wrote for you. And you are not to fear other gods.
39 but Jehovah your God ye do fear, and He doth deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies;'
39 But the Lord your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”
39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
39 But you are to fear the LORD, and he will deliver you from the control of all your enemies."
40 and they have not hearkened, but according to their former custom they are doing,
40 However, they did not listen, but they did according to their earlier custom.
40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
40 However, they would not listen but continued practicing their former customs.
40 But they wouldn't listen. Instead, they did what they had been doing before.
41 and these nations are fearing Jehovah, and their graven images they have served, both their sons and their sons' sons; as their fathers did, they are doing unto this day.
41 (BO)So while these nations feared the Lord, they also served their (t)idols; their children likewise and their grandchildren, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
41 These nations feared the Lord but also served their idols. Their children and grandchildren continue doing as their fathers did until today.(BE)
41 These nations feared the LORD and also served their carved images. Their descendants did the same thing, as did their grandchildren. Just as their ancestors had done, they also do the same thing to this day.
