2 Kings 21:10–16

¹⁰The Lord spoke through His servants the prophets, saying, ¹¹“Since Manasseh king of Judah has committed all these detestable things ^o—greater evil than the Amorites ^pwho preceded him had done—and by means of his idols has also caused Judah to sin, ¹²this is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I am about to bring such disaster on Jerusalem and Judah that everyone who hears about it will shudder. ^q13I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line used on Samaria and the mason’s level used on the house of Ahab, ^rand I will wipe ^sJerusalem clean as one wipes a bowl—wiping it and turning it upside down. ¹⁴I will abandon the remnant ^tof My inheritance and hand them over to their enemies. They will become plunder and spoil to all their enemies, ¹⁵because they have done what is evil in My sight and have provoked Me from the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until today.’ ” ^u

¹⁶Manasseh also shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem with it from one end to another. ^vThis was in addition to his sin that he caused Judah to commit. Consequently, they did what was evil in the Lord’s sight.
