10
And the LORD spoke by his slaves, the prophets, saying,
11
Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these abominations
and has done more evil than all that the Amorites did, who
were before him and has also made Judah sin with his idols;
12
therefore, thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I
am bringing
such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.
13
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as
a man wipes a dish, wiping
it and turning
it upside down.
14
And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies
15
because they have done
that which was evil in my sight and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
16
Moreover, Manasseh shed innocent blood very much until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another besides his sin with which he made Judah sin so that they would do
that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
17
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did and his sin with which he sinned,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18
And Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
19
Amon
was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name
was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20
And he did
that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
