SCRIPTURE

"Yet Jehovah testified unto Israel, and unto Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets." — 2 Kings 17:13 (ASV)

Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against Judah, by
all the prophets, [and by] all the seers
Against their sins, reproving them for them, dehorting them from them, exhorting them to repent and leave them; as in all preceding reigns, by Ahijah the Shilonite, by Elijah and Elisha, by Hosea, Amos, and Micah, and others:

saying, turn you from your ways ;
repent of them, and reform from them, worship of the calves particularly:

and keep my commandments, and my statutes, according to all the law
which I commanded your fathers ;
which was given them and enjoined them at Mount Sinai:

and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets ;
by whom he put them in mind of them, explained them, and urged obedience to them.
