2 Kings 17:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 But they did not listen. They grew as stiff-necked as their ancestors, who had not believed in the Lord, their God.(A) 15 They rejected his statutes, the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and the warnings he had given them. They followed emptiness and became empty; they followed the surrounding nations whom the Lord had commanded them not to imitate.(B) 16 They abandoned all the commandments of the Lord, their God: they made for themselves two molten calves; they made an asherah; they bowed down to all the host of heaven; they served Baal.(C)
