Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

Verse 34 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Kings. After the deportation, the king of Assyria brings foreign populations to Samaria. These communities experience attacks by lions and request a priest to teach them the worship of the God of the land. The result is religious mixture: they fear the Lord but continue serving their own gods. The section explains, from the narrator’s perspective, the origin of a population whose religious identity will later become problematic. The issue is not simply the presence of foreigners, but a religion that does not abandon previous practices. The chapter concludes by reaffirming that the population did not truly follow the Lord.

Und bis auf diesen Tag tun sie nach der alten Weise, daß sie weder den HERRN fürchten noch ihre Rechte und Sitten tun nach dem Gesetz und Gebot, das der HERR geboten hat den Kindern Jakobs, welchem er den Namen Israel gab.
Hasta hoy hacen como primero; que ni temen a Jehová, ni guardan sus estatutos, ni sus ordenanzas, ni hacen según la ley y los mandamientos que prescribió Jehová a los hijos de Jacob, al cual puso el nombre de Israel;
Hasta el día de hoy siguen sus antiguas costumbres. No temen a Jehová ni cumplen los estatutos, las ordenanzas, la ley y el mandamiento que Jehová ordenó a los hijos de Jacob, a quien puso por nombre Israel.
Ils suivent encore aujourd'hui leurs premiers usages: ils ne craignent point l'Eternel, et ils ne se conforment ni à leurs lois et à leurs ordonnances, ni à la loi et aux commandements prescrits par l'Eternel aux enfants de Jacob qu'il appela du nom d'Israël.
Infino a questo giorno essi fanno secondo i lor costumi antichi; essi non riveriscono il Signore, e non fanno nè secondo i loro statuti e costumi, nè secondo la legge e i comandamenti che il Signore ha dati a’ figliuoli di Giacobbe, al quale pose nome Israele;
Até ao dia de hoje fazem segundo os primeiros costumes; não temem ao SENHOR, nem fazem segundo os seus estatutos, segundo as suas ordenanças, segundo a lei e segundo o mandamento que o SENHOR ordenou aos filhos de Jacó, a quem deu o nome de Israel.
直到如今仍照先前的風俗去行。 他們不敬畏耶和華,不遵守耶和華吩咐 雅各 後裔的律例、典章、律法、誡命; 雅各 就是從前耶和華起名叫 以色列 的。
