2 Kings 21:3–15

³and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father destroyed, and raiseth altars for Baal, and maketh a shrine, as did Ahab king of Israel, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them. ⁴And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah said, ‘In Jerusalem I put My name.’ ⁵And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah; ⁶and he hath caused his son to pass through fire, and observed clouds, and used enchantment, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah—to provoke to anger. ⁷And he setteth the graven image of the shrine that he made in the house of which Jehovah said unto David and unto Solomon his son, ‘In this house, and in Jerusalem, that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name—to the age; ⁸and I do not add to cause the foot of Israel to move from the ground that I gave to their fathers, only, if they observe to do according to all that I commanded them, and to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.’ ⁹And they have not hearkened, and Manasseh causeth them to err, to do the evil thing above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

¹⁰And Jehovah speaketh by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying, ¹¹‘Because that Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations—he hath done evil above all that the Amorites have done who are before him, and causeth also Judah to sin by his idols; ¹²therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Lo, I am bringing in evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever heareth of it, tingle do his two ears. ¹³And I have stretched out over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and wiped Jerusalem as one wipeth the dish—he hath wiped, and hath turned it on its face.

¹⁴‘And I have left the remnant of Mine inheritance, and given them into the hand of their enemies, and they have been for a prey and for a spoil to all their enemies, ¹⁵because that they have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, and are provoking Me to anger from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.’
