1And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings[a] and used 2divination and 3omens and 4sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.
15
They despised his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after false idols and became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the LORD had commanded them that they should not do like them.
16
And they abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made for themselves metal images of two calves; and they made an Asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal.
17
And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings and used divination and omens and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.
18
Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but the tribe of Judah only.
19
Judah also did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced.
