10 They kept [08104] not the covenant [01285] of God [0430], and refused [03985] to walk [03212] in his law [08451];
11 And forgat [07911] his works [05949], and his wonders [06381] that he had shewed [07200] them.
17 Nevertheless [061] the people [05971] did sacrifice [02076] still in the high places [01116], yet unto the LORD [03068] their God [0430] only.
32 So they feared [03373] the LORD [03068], and made [06213] unto themselves of the lowest [07098] of them priests [03548] of the high places [01116], which sacrificed [06213] for them in the houses [01004] of the high places [01116].
31 And he made [06213] an house [01004] of high places [01116], and made [06213] priests [03548] of the lowest [07098] of the people [05971], which were not of the sons [01121] of Levi [03878].
32 And Jeroboam [03379] ordained [06213] a feast [02282] in the eighth [08066] month [02320], on the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320], like unto the feast [02282] that is in Judah [03063], and he offered [05927] upon the altar [04196]. So did [06213] he in Bethel [01008], sacrificing [02076] unto the calves [05695] that he had made [06213]: and he placed [05975] in Bethel [01008] the priests [03548] of the high places [01116] which he had made [06213].
2 Only the people [05971] sacrificed [02076] in high places [01116], because there was no house [01004] built [01129] unto the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], until those days [03117].
30 And I will destroy [08045] your high places [01116], and cut down [03772] your images [02553], and cast [05414] your carcases [06297] upon the carcases [06297] of your idols [01544], and my soul [05315] shall abhor [01602] you.
