2 Kings 17:14-16
New Life Version
14 But they did not listen. They were strong-willed like their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 They turned away from His Laws and His agreement which He made with their fathers. They turned away when He told them of danger. They followed false gods, and became empty. They followed the nations around them. But the Lord had told them not to act like them. 16 They turned away from all the Laws of the Lord their God and made objects to look like false gods. They made two calves and an object to look like the false goddess Asherah. And they worshiped all the stars of heaven and worked for Baal.

2 Kings 17:14-16
New International Version
14 But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked(A) as their ancestors, who did not trust in the Lord their God. 15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant(B) he had made with their ancestors and the statutes he had warned them to keep. They followed worthless idols(C) and themselves became worthless.(D) They imitated the nations(E) 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,(F) and an Asherah(G) pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts,(H) and they worshiped Baal.(I)
