8 aand I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers—only if they are careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.”
9 But they paid no attention, and Manasseh aseduced them to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spoke aby His servants the prophets, saying,
11 a“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations (bhe has acted more wickedly than all the cAmorites who were before him, and dhas also made Judah sin with his idols),
12 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both ahis ears will tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem athe measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; bI will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 So I will forsake the aremnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become victims of plunder to all their enemies,
15 because they have done evil in My sight, and have provoked Me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’ ”
16 aMoreover Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
17 Now athe rest of the acts of bManasseh—all that he did, and the sin that he committed—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
