2 Kings 17:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ But they refused to listen. They became as impossible to deal with as their ancestors who refused to trust the Lord their God. ¹⁵ They rejected his decrees, the promise ^[a] he made to their ancestors, and the warnings he had given them. They went after worthless idols and became as worthless as the idols. They behaved like the nations around them, although the Lord had commanded them not to do that. ¹⁶ They abandoned all the commands of the Lord their God:

They made two calves out of cast metal.

They made a pole dedicated to the goddess Asherah.

They prayed to the entire army of heaven.

They worshiped Baal.
