2 Kings 17:15-18

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. ¹⁸ Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but ^(M)the tribe of Judah only.
