2 Kings 17:13-18
13Yet the 1Lord warned Israel and Judah 2through all His prophets and 3every seer, saying, “4Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets.” 14However, they did not listen, but 5stiffened their neck 6like their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God. 157They rejected His statutes and 8His covenant which He made with their fathers and His warnings with which He warned them. And 9they followed vanity and 10became vain, and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the 11Lord had commanded them not to do like them. 16They forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God and made for themselves molten images, even 12two calves, and 13made an 14Asherah and 15worshiped all the host of heaven and 16served Baal. 17Then 17they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and 18practiced divination and enchantments, and 19sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him. 18So the Lord was very angry with Israel and 20removed them from His 21sight; 22none was left except the tribe of Judah.
