2 Kings 17:13-18
13Yet the 1Lord warned Israel and Judah 23through all His prophets and 4every seer, saying, “5Turn back from your evil ways and keep My commandments and My statutes in accordance with all the Law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you 6through My servants the prophets.” 14However, they did not listen, but 7stiffened their neck 8like their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God. 159They rejected His statutes and 10His covenant which He made with their fathers, and His warnings which He 11gave them. And 12they followed 13idols and 14became empty, and followed the nations that surrounded them, about which the 15Lord had commanded them not to do as they did. 16And they abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God and made for themselves cast metal images: 16two calves. And they 17made an 18Asherah, and 19worshiped all the heavenly 20lights, and 21served Baal. 17Then 22they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and they 23practiced divination and interpreting omens, and 24gave themselves over to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him. 18So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and He 25removed them from His 26sight; 27no one was left except the tribe of Judah.
