2:4 rejected the instruction (Hebrew torah) of the Lord: The pagan nations listed to this point had committed atrocities that violated a general sense of human decency, but Judah had gone further; they held the word of God and yet had rejected its teachings (see Hos 4:6; 8:1). God holds people responsible in proportion to the privilege they have received (see Amos 3:2).
• led astray by the same lies: Having discarded God’s true instruction, Judah turned to a substitute found in pagan syncretism (the combining of elements from different belief systems) and idolatry (see 1 Kgs 14:22-24).
OET (OET-LV) thus YHWH he_says on three (the)_transgressions_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_for four not revoke_him because rejected_they DOM the_law_of YHWH and_statutes_of_his not they_have_kept and_led_astray_them lies_of_their which they_walked ancestors_of_their after_them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
