2 Kings 17:15-17
English Standard Version
15 They despised his statutes (A)and his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after (B)false idols (C)and became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the (D)Lord 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 (E)two calves; and they (F)made an Asherah and (G)worshiped all the host of heaven and served (H)Baal. 17 (I)And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings[a] and used (J)divination and (K)omens and (L)sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.

2 Kings 17:15-17
New International Version
15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant(A) he had made with their ancestors and the statutes he had warned them to keep. They followed worthless idols(B) and themselves became worthless.(C) They imitated the nations(D) around them although the Lord had ordered them, “Do not do as they do.”
16 They forsook all the commands of the Lord their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves,(E) and an Asherah(F) pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts,(G) and they worshiped Baal.(H) 17 They sacrificed(I) their sons and daughters in the fire. They practiced divination and sought omens(J) and sold(K) themselves to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.
