2 Kings 17:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.

¹⁵ And they rejected his ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.

¹⁶ And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal.
