reject the Law (Hebrew torah) of the LORD: The pagan nations mentioned earlier committed acts against basic human decency. However, Judah went further; they had God's word but rejected its teachings (see Hosea 4:6; 8:1). God holds people accountable based on the privileges they have received (see Amos 3:2).
led astray by the lies: After discarding God's true instruction, Judah turned to a substitute found in pagan syncretism (the mixing of different belief systems) and idolatry (see 1 Kings 14:22–24).
