8 aBut they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. bNone of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt.“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them cand spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 20:16

24because they had not obeyed my rules, but had rejected my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths, eand their eyes were set on their fathers’ idols.Hosea 9:9-10
9 fThey have deeply corrupted themselvesas gin the days of Gibeah:
hhe will remember their iniquity;
he will punish their sins.
10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
iI found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
But jthey came to Baal-peor
and kconsecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and lbecame detestable like the thing they loved.
Zechariah 7:5

42But rGod turned away and sgave them over to worship tthe host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:u“‘Did you bring to me slain beasts and sacrifices,
vduring the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43You took up the tent of wMoloch
and the star of your god Rephan,
the images that you made to worship;
and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
