2 Kings 21:10–16

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

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