And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone. 2 Kings 17:17-18
The Lord is longsuffering, and very forgiving. But let the rebellious beware lest by their continual rebellion they frustrate the grace of God, and ensure their own damnation by so doing.
