and wrought{H6213}{(H8799)} wicked{H7451} things{H1697} to provoke the LORD{H3068} to anger{H3707}{(H8687)}: 12 For they served{H5647}{(H8799)} idols{H1544}, whereof the LORD{H3068} had said{H559}{(H8804)} unto them, Ye shall not do{H6213}{(H8799)} this thing{H1697}. 13 Yet the LORD{H3068} testified{H5749}{(H8686)} against Israel{H3478}, and against Judah{H3063}, by{H3027} all the prophets{H5030}, and by all the seers{H2374}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Turn{H7725}{(H8798)} ye from your evil{H7451} ways{H1870}, and keep{H8104}{(H8798)} my commandments{H4687} and my statutes{H2708}, according to all the law{H8451} which I commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} your fathers{H1}, and which I sent{H7971}{(H8804)} to you by{H3027} my servants{H5650} the prophets{H5030}. 14 Notwithstanding they would not hear{H8085}{(H8804)}, but hardened{H7185}{(H8686)} their necks{H6203}, like to the neck{H6203} of their fathers{H1}, that did not believe{H539}{(H8689)} in the LORD{H3068} their God{H430}. 15 And they rejected{H3988}{(H8799)} his statutes{H2706}, and his covenant{H1285} that he made{H3772}{(H8804)} with their fathers{H1}, and his testimonies{H5715} which he testified{H5749}{(H8689)} against them; and they followed{H3212}{(H8799)}{H310} vanity{H1892}, and became vain{H1891}{(H8799)}, and went after{H310} the heathen{H1471} that were round about{H5439} them, concerning whom the LORD{H3068} had charged{H6680}{(H8765)} them, that they should not do{H6213}{(H8800)} like them. 16 And they left{H5800}{(H8799)} all the commandments{H4687} of the LORD{H3068} their God{H430}, and made{H6213}{(H8799)} them molten images{H4541}, even two{H8147} calves{H5695}, and made{H6213}{(H8799)} a grove{H842}, and worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)} all the host{H6635} of heaven{H8064}, and served{H5647}{(H8799)} Baal{H1168}. 17 And they caused their sons{H1121} and their daughters{H1323} to pass{H5674}{(H8686)} through the fire{H784}, and used{H7080}{(H8799)} divination{H7081} and enchantments{H5172}{(H8762)}, and sold{H4376}{(H8691)} themselves to do{H6213}{(H8800)} evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}, to provoke him to anger{H3707}{(H8687)}. 18 Therefore the LORD{H3068} was very{H3966} angry{H599}{(H8691)} with Israel{H3478}, and removed{H5493}{(H8686)} them out of his sight{H6440}: there was none left{H7604}{(H8738)} but the tribe{H7626} of Judah{H3063} only. 19 Also Judah{H3063} kept{H8104}{(H8804)} not the commandments{H4687} of the LORD{H3068} their God{H430}, but walked{H3212}{(H8799)} in the statutes{H2708} of Israel{H3478} which they made{H6213}{(H8804)}. 20 And the LORD{H3068} rejected{H3988}{(H8799)} all the seed{H2233} of Israel{H3478}, and afflicted{H6031}{(H8762)} them, and delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} them into the hand{H3027} of spoilers{H8154}{(H8802)}, until he had cast{H7993}{(H8689)} them out of his sight{H6440}. 21 For he rent{H7167}{(H8804)} Israel{H3478} from the house{H1004} of David{H1732}; and they made Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat{H5028} king{H4427}{(H8686)}: and Jeroboam{H3379} drave{H5080}{(H8686)}{(H8675)}{H5077}{(H8686)} Israel{H3478} from following{H310} the LORD{H3068}, and made them sin{H2398}{(H8689)} a great{H1419} sin{H2401}. 22 For the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} walked{H3212}{(H8799)} in all the sins{H2403} of Jeroboam{H3379} which he did{H6213}{(H8804)}; they departed{H5493}{(H8804)} not from them; 23 Until the LORD{H3068} removed{H5493}{(H8689)} Israel{H3478} out of his sight{H6440}, as he had said{H1696}{(H8765)} by{H3027} all his servants{H5650} the prophets{H5030}.
