Thematic Bible



Now when Amaziah came back from the destruction of the Edomites, he took the gods of the children of Seir and made them his gods, worshipping them and burning offerings before them.

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but his heart was not completely true to the Lord.

Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.

O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.

And those who are turned back from going after the Lord, and those who have not made prayer to the Lord or got directions from him.
