2 Kings 17:40

But they ¹  pay no attention; instead they observe their earlier practices.

They would not listen, however, but persisted in their former practices.

However, they did not listen, but they did according to their earlier custom.

But the people would not listen and continued to follow their old ways.

But they didn't pay any attention. They kept doing what they'd always done.

But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.

They would not listen, however, but they continued to practice their former custom.

However they did not obey, but they followed their former rituals.

But they ¹  pay no attention; instead they observe their earlier practices.
