2 Kings 17:14-23 Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the necks of their fathers that did not believe the LORD their God.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the necks of their fathers that did not believe the LORD their God. ¹⁵ And they refused his ordinances and his covenant that he had made with their fathers, and the witness which he had witnessed to them and followed vanity and became vain, like to the heathen that were round about them, of which the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. ¹⁶ But they left the commandments of the LORD their God and made them Images of metal, even two calves: and made groves and bowed themselves unto all the Host of heaven, and served Baal. ¹⁷ And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters in fire, and used witchcraft and enchantments, and were sold to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, for to anger him. ¹⁸ Wherefore the LORD was exceeding wroth with Israel and put them out of his sight, that there was left but the tribe of Judah only. ¹⁹ And thereto Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the ordinances of Israel which they had made. ²⁰ Therefore the LORD cast up all the seed of Israel and vexed them and delivered them into the hands of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. ²¹ And Israel divided themselves from the house of David, and made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Which Jeroboam thrust Israel away from the LORD and made them sin a great sin. ²² And so the children of Israel walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he had set up, and departed not therefrom, ²³ until the LORD had put Israel away out of his sight, as he said by all his servants the prophets. And so he translated Israel out of their land to Assyria, even unto this day.
