| 2 | As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. | But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images. | The more the prophets called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. |
