¹⁰The Lord said through his servants the prophets: ¹¹“Manasseh king of Judah has committed these detestable sins. He has done more evilⁿ than the Amorites^o who preceded him and has led Judah into sin with his idols.^p ¹²Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster^q on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.^r ¹³I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line^s used against the house of Ahab. I will wipe^t out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. ¹⁴I will forsake^u the remnant^v of my inheritance and give them into the hands of enemies. They will be looted and plundered by all their enemies; ¹⁵they have done evil^w in my eyes and have aroused^x my anger from the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day.”

¹⁶Moreover, Manasseh also shed so much innocent blood^y that he filled Jerusalem from end to end—besides the sin that he had caused Judah^z to commit, so that they did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
