2 Kings 17:13–18

¹³Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His ^qprophets, ^revery seer, saying, ^s“Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.” ¹⁴Nevertheless they would not hear, but ^tstiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who ^udid not believe in the Lord their God. ¹⁵And they ^vrejected His statutes ^wand His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed ^xidols, ^ybecame idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should ^znot do like them. ¹⁶So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, ^amade for themselves a molded image and two calves, ^bmade a wooden image and worshiped all the ^chost of heaven, ^dand served Baal. ^17eAnd they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, ^fpracticed witchcraft and soothsaying, and ^gsold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. ¹⁸Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left ^hbut the tribe of Judah alone.
