2 Kings 17:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

^15 (A)They rejected His statutes and ^(B)His covenant which He made with their fathers and His warnings with which He warned them. And ^(C)they followed vanity and ^(D)became vain, and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the ^(E)Lord had commanded them not to do like them. ¹⁶ They forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God and made for themselves molten images, even ^(F)two calves, and ^(G)made an ^[a]Asherah and ^(H)worshiped all the host of heaven and ^(I)served Baal. ¹⁷ Then ^(J)they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and ^(K)practiced divination and enchantments, and ^(L)sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him.
