38Never forget the promise I made to you. Never worship other gods. 39Instead, worship the LORD your God, and he will rescue you from your enemies.'" 40The people of Israel had refused to listen and made up their own rules, as they had done from the beginning. 41These [other] nations worshiped the LORD but also served their own idols. So did their children and their grandchildren. They still do whatever their ancestors did.
