2 Kings 17:14-20

New King James Version

¹⁴ Nevertheless they would not hear, but ^(A)stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who ^(B)did not believe in the Lord their God. ¹⁵ And they ^(C)rejected His statutes ^(D)and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed ^(E)idols, ^(F)became idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should ^(G)not do like them. ¹⁶ So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, ^(H)made for themselves a molded image and two calves, ^(I)made a wooden image and worshiped all the ^(J)host of heaven, ^(K)and served Baal. ^17 (L)And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, ^(M)practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and ^(N)sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. ¹⁸ Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left ^(O)but the tribe of Judah alone.

¹⁹ Also ^(P)Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. ²⁰ And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel, afflicted them, and ^(Q)delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them from His ^(R)sight.
