The LORD testifies to Israel and to Judah by every prophet and every seer, and they will not listen
여호와께서 각 선지자와 각 선견자로 이스라엘과 유다를 경계하셨으나 저희가 듣지 아니함
2 Kings 17:13–17: the LORD testifies to Israel and to Judah, by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn 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.” The text says, “Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck like the neck of their fathers who didn’t believe in the LORD their God. They rejected his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the LORD had commanded them that they should not do like them. They abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made molten images for themselves, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served Baal. They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.” Neither edition names a prophet or a seer. Where WEB reads “all the army of the sky” (17:16), the Korean Revised Version reads 하늘의 일월 성신, the sun, moon and stars of the sky; where WEB reads “their sons and their daughters” (17:17), it reads 자기 자녀, their children.
