2 Kings 17:14-17

2 Kings 17:14-17 CSB

But they would not listen. Instead they became obstinate like their ancestors who did not believe the LORD their God. They rejected his statutes and his covenant he had made with their ancestors and the warnings he had given them. They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves, following the surrounding nations the LORD had commanded them not to imitate. They abandoned all the commands of the LORD their God. They made cast images for themselves, two calves, and an Asherah pole. They bowed in worship to all the stars in the sky and served Baal. They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire , and practiced divination and interpreted omens. They devoted themselves to do what was evil in the LORD’s sight and angered him.
