2 Kings 17:13-18

13 Yet the Lord ^awarned Israel and Judah ^bby every prophet ^cand every seer, saying, ^d“Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”

14 But they would not listen, ^ebut were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 They despised his statutes ^fand his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after ^gfalse idols ^hand became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the ⁱLord had commanded them that they should not do like them. 16 And they abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made for themselves metal images of ^jtwo calves; and they ^kmade an Asherah and ^lworshiped all the host of heaven and served ^mBaal. 17 ⁿAnd they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings ^{▼▼Or made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire} and used ^pdivination and ^qomens and ^rsold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but ^sthe tribe of Judah only.
