2 Kings 17:13-18
13Yet throughH3027 allH3605 His prophetsH5030 and seersH2374, the LORDH3068 warnedH5749 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, sayingH559, “TurnH7725 from your wickedH7451 waysH1870 and keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687 and statutesH2708, according to the entireH3605 LawH8451 thatH834 I commandedH6680 your fathersH1 and deliveredH7971 to youH413 throughH3027 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.”
14But they would notH3808 listenH8085, and they stiffenedH7185 their necksH6203 like their fathersH1, whoH834 did notH3808 believeH539 the LORDH3068 their GodH430. 15They rejectedH3988 His statutesH2706 and the covenantH1285 He had madeH3772 withH854 their fathersH1, as well as the decreesH5715 He had givenH5749 them. They pursuedH1980H310 worthless idolsH1892 and became worthless themselvesH1891, going afterH310 the surroundingH5439 nationsH1471 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had commanded themH6680 notH1115 to imitateH6213.
16They abandonedH5800 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430 and madeH6213 for themselves twoH8147 cast idolsH4541 of calvesH5695H6213 and an Asherah poleH842. They bowed down toH7812 allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 and servedH5647 BaalH1168. 17They sacrificedH5674 their sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 in the fireH7841 and practicedH7080 divinationH7081 and soothsayingH5172. They devoted themselvesH4376 to doingH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, provoking Him to angerH3707.
18So the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and He removed themH5493 fromH5921 His presenceH6440H3808. OnlyH7535 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063H905 remainedH7604,
