2 Kings 17:15-17
151They rejected His statutes and 2His covenant which He made with their fathers, and His warnings which He 3gave them. And 4they followed 5idols and 6became empty, and followed the nations that surrounded them, about which the 7Lord 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: 8two calves. And they 9made an 10Asherah, and 11worshiped all the heavenly 12lights, and 13served Baal.
17Then 14they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and they 15practiced divination and interpreting omens, and 16gave themselves over to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him.
