¹⁰Then the Lord spoke through his servants the prophets: ¹¹“King Manasseh of Judah has done disgusting things, things more evil than what the Amorites who ⸤were here⸥ before him had done. Manasseh has also made Judah sin by ⸤worshiping⸥ his idols. ¹²So this is what I, the Lord God of Israel, said: I’m going to bring such a disaster on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears about it will ring. ¹³I will measure Jerusalem with the measuring line used for Samaria and the plumb line used for Ahab’s dynasty. I will wipe out Jerusalem in the same way that a dish is wiped out and turned upside down. ¹⁴I will abandon the rest of my people. I will put them under the control of their enemies, and they will become property that their enemies capture. ¹⁵I will do this because they have done what I consider evil and have been making me furious from the time their ancestors left Egypt until this day.”

¹⁶In addition to his sin that he led Judah to commit in front of the Lord, Manasseh also killed a lot of innocent people from one end of Jerusalem to the other.
