2 Kings 17:14-16
14However, they did not listenH8085, but 1stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203 2like their fathersH1, whoH834 did not believeH539 in the LordH3068 their GodH430.
153They rejectedH3988 His statutesH2706 and 4His covenantH1285 whichH834 He madeH3772 with their fathersH1 and His warningsH5715 with whichH834 He warnedH5749 them. And 5they followedH1980H310 vanityH1892 and 6becameH1891 vainH1891, and went afterH310 the nationsH1471 whichH834 surroundedH5439 them, concerning whichH834 the 7LordH3068 had commandedH6680 them not to doH6213 like them.
16They forsookH5800 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 and madeH6213 for themselves moltenH4541 imagesH4541, even 8twoH8147 calvesH5695, and 9madeH6213 an 10AsherahH842 and 11worshipedH7812 allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 and 12servedH5647 BaalH1168.
