And the Lord spake by his servants the prophets Who prophesied in the days of Manasseh; and were, according to the Jewish chronology F6, Joel, Nahum, and Habakkuk:
8
I will never again make Israel's feet wander from the land that I gave to their ancestors if they will obey all the commands and all the Teachings that my servant Moses gave them."
9
(But they wouldn't obey.) Manasseh misled Israel so that they did more evil things than the nations that the LORD had destroyed when the Israelites arrived in the land.
10
Then 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.
12
So 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.
