2 Kings 17:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 And they made their sons and their daughters [a]pass through the fire, and used witchcraft and enchantments, yea, [b]sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to anger him.
18 Therefore the Lord was exceedingly wroth with Israel, and put them out of his sight, and none was left but the tribe of Judah [c]only.
19 Yet Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked according to the fashion of Israel, which they used.

17 They sacrificed(A) their sons and daughters in the fire. They practiced divination and sought omens(B) and sold(C) themselves to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.
18 So the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them from his presence.(D) Only the tribe of Judah was left, 19 and even Judah did not keep the commands of the Lord their God. They followed the practices Israel had introduced.(E)
