Melachim Bais 17:39-41

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³⁹ But Hashem Eloheichem ye shall fear; and He shall deliver you out of the yad of all your oyevim.

⁴⁰ Howbeit they did not pay heed, but they did after their mishpat harishon (former custom).

⁴¹ So these Goyim feared Hashem, and also served their peselim, both their banim, and their bnei banim; as did their avot, so do they unto this day.
