Over and over Israel and Judah broke the covenant with God. They were stubborn and "went after false idols and became false." I don't know about you, but it reminds me of me.

2 Kings 17:13-15

Yet the Lord warned Israel and Judah by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”

But they would not listen, but were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the Lord their God.
They despised his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after false idols and became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the Lord had commanded them that they should not do like them.

  1. "They went after false idols and became false" reminds me of my mother saying, "Be careful who you hang out with, because you'll become like them."
