2 Kings 17:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 However, they did not listen, but (A)stiffened their neck [a]like their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 (B)They rejected His statutes and (C)His covenant which He made with their fathers, and His warnings which He [b]gave them. And (D)they followed [c]idols and (E)became empty, and followed the nations that surrounded them, about which the (F)Lord had commanded them not to do as they did. 16 And they abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God and made for themselves cast metal images: (G)two calves. And they (H)made an [d]Asherah, and (I)worshiped all the heavenly [e]lights, and (J)served Baal.
