• 2 Kgs 17:7-9 : 7 This happened because the Israelites sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. They worshiped other gods. 8 They followed the practices of the nations whom the Lord had driven out before the Israelites, as well as the practices of the kings of Israel that they themselves had introduced. 9 The Israelites secretly did things against the Lord their God that were not right. They built high places in all their towns, from watchtower to fortified city. 10 They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every leafy tree. 11 There, on all the high places, they burned incense as the nations whom the Lord had driven out before them had done. They did wicked things that provoked the Lord to anger. 12 They served idols, about which the Lord had said to them, 'You shall not do this thing.' 13 Yet the Lord warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and seers, saying, 'Turn back from your evil ways and keep My commandments and statutes according to the entire law I commanded your fathers to follow, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets.' 14 But they would not listen. Instead, they hardened their necks like their fathers who did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 They despised His statutes, His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His warnings He gave them. They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves. They imitated the nations around them, though the Lord had commanded them not to do so. 16 They abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God. They made for themselves two cast idols in the form of calves, made an Asherah pole, worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. 17 They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire, practiced divination and sorcery, and sold themselves to do what was evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger.
• Job 29:7-9 : 7 When I went out to the city gate, and took my seat in the public square, 8 the young men saw me and stepped aside, and the aged stood and rose to their feet. 9 Leaders refrained from speaking and laid their hands on their mouths. 10 The voices of nobles quieted, and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths. 11 For when the ear heard me, it called me blessed, and when the eye saw me, it gave testimony about me. 12 Because I rescued the poor who cried for help, and the orphan who had no helper. 13 The blessing of the one about to perish came upon me, and I made the widow's heart sing for joy. 14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban. 15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. 16 I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the case of one I did not know. 17 I broke the jaws of the wicked and snatched the prey from his teeth. 18 I said, 'I will die with my nest, and my days will be as numerous as the sand.' 19 My roots spread out to the waters, and the dew stayed overnight on my branches. 20 My glory is renewed within me, and my bow in my hand is made strong again. 21 People listened to me and waited, and they kept silent for my counsel. 22 After I spoke, they did not speak again, and my words fell gently upon them. 23 They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouths wide for the spring rain. 24 When I smiled at them, they could hardly believe it; and the light of my face brought them no discouragement. 25 I chose their way and sat as their chief; I lived as a king among his troops, like one who comforts mourners.
