'Copied' in the Bible

They rejected his rules, the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and the laws he had commanded them to obey. They paid allegiance to worthless idols, and so became worthless to the Lord. They copied the practices of the surrounding nations in blatant disregard of the Lord's command.

These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of King Hezekiah of Judah copied:

Have you not copied their behavior and practiced their abominable deeds? In a short time you became even more depraved in all your conduct than they were!
