2 Kings 17:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And the children of Israel offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

¹⁰ And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:

¹¹ And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.
