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
"And I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them."
9
But they did not listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do evil more than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the sons of Israel.
10
Now the LORD spoke through His servants the prophets, saying,
11
"Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all the Amorites did who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols;
12
therefore thus says the LORD , the God of Israel, 'Behold, I am bringing such calamity on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
