Some of Israel’s kings led the nation to sin,
Their abominable idols, they were adoring.
They did not remember Israel’s God,
They did not remember the true Heavenly God.
Everyone sacrificed and burned incense,
Idolatry was a consensus in that land.
It began since from the house of the king,
The king was the first one to do bad things.
That was a time of big tribulation,
All the people around invaded the nation.
Many ancient treasures were stolen,
The holy places were profaned.
All this evil was allowed by the Lord,
Against his people rose the wrath of God.
Each one walked in his own way,
Each one sought to adore his idol.
The people sent by God were discredited,
Sinful people tried to kill every new prophet.
Virtually nobody wanted to come back to the Lord,
Everyone preferred those loveless gods.
