Leeser(i)
14 But they would not hear, and hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who had not believed in the Lord their God;
15 And they despised his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had entrusted to them; and they followed after what is vanity, and became vain, and followed after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, not to do like them.
16 And they forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves molten images, two calves, and made a grove, and bowed down to all the host of the heavens, and served Ba’al;
17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
18 Therefore became the Lord very angry with Israel, and he removed them from his presence: there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone.
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs of Israel which they had made.
20 Therefore did the Lord reject all the seed of Israel, and he afflicted them, and gave them up into the hand of spoilers, until that he had cast them out of his presence.
21 For Israel had torn themselves from the house of David, and they made Jerobo’am the son of Nebat king: and Jerobo’am misled Israel from following the Lord, and caused them to commit a great sin;
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jerobo’am which he did; they departed not therefrom.
23 Until that the Lord removed Israel out of his presence, as he had spoken by means of all his servants the prophets; and Israel was led away as exiles out of their own land to Assyria even until this day.
