12 And they ^oabandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, ^pwho had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, from among the ^qgods of the peoples who were around them, and ^rbowed down to them. And they provoked the Lord to anger.

17 Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they ^ywhored after other gods and bowed down to them. They ^zsoon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord, and they did not do so.
