2 Kings 17:11-19 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

11. and make perfume there in all high places, like the nations that Jehovah removed from their presence, and do evil things to provoke Jehovah,

12. and serve the idols, of which Jehovah said to them, `Ye do not do this thing;'

13. And Jehovah testifieth against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and every seer, saying, `Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent unto you by the hand of My servants the prophets;'

14. and they have not hearkened, and harden their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not remain stedfast in Jehovah their God,

15. and reject His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and go after the vain thing, and become vain, and after the nations that are round about them, of whom Jehovah commanded them not to do like them;

16. And they forsake all the commands of Jehovah their God, and make to them a molten image--two calves, and make a shrine, and bow themselves to all the host of the heavens, and serve Baal,

17. and cause their sons and their daughters to pass over through fire, and divine divinations, and use enchantments, and sell themselves to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him;

18. That Jehovah sheweth himself very angry against Israel, and turneth them aside from His presence; none hath been left, only the tribe of Judah by itself.

19. Also Judah hath not kept the commands of Jehovah their God, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
