• 2 Kgs 17:7-9 : 7 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods. 8 And they walked in the statutes of the nations whom the LORD had cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. 9 The children of Israel secretly did things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the watchtower to the fortified city. 10 They set up images and groves on every high hill and under every green tree. 11 There they burned incense on all the high places, as the nations had done whom the LORD carried away before them; and they did wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger. 12 For they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, You shall not do this thing. 13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel and against Judah, by all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. 14 Nevertheless they would not listen, but stiffened their necks, like their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God. 15 They rejected his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; they followed worthless idols, and became worthless themselves, and went after the nations that were around them, although the LORD had commanded them not to do like them. 16 They left all the commandments of the LORD their God, made for themselves cast images, even two calves, made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. 17 They caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practiced divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
