2 Kings 21:2-17
2And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom YhwhH3068 cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 3For he built upH1129 againH7725 the high placesH1116 which HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had destroyedH6; and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalH1168, and madeH6213 a groveH842, as didH6213 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them. 4And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, of which YhwhH3068 saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034. 5And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068. 6And he made his sonH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784, and observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and dealtH6213 with familiar spiritsH178 and wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707. 7And he setH7760 a graven imageH6459 of the groveH842 that he had madeH6213 in the houseH1004, of which YhwhH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 out of all tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5769: 8Neither will I make the feetH7272 of IsraelH3478 moveH5110 any moreH3254 out of the landH127 which I gaveH5414 their fathersH1; only if they will observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 them, and according to all the lawH8451 that my servantH5650 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them. 9But they hearkenedH8085 not: and ManassehH4519 seducedH8582 them to doH6213 more evilH7451 than did the nationsH1471 whom YhwhH3068 destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
10And YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, 11Because ManassehH4519 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath doneH6213 these abominationsH8441, and hath done wickedlyH7489 above all that the AmoritesH567 didH6213, which were beforeH6440 him, and hath made JudahH3063 also to sinH2398 with his idolsH1544: 12Therefore thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I am bringingH935 such evilH7451 upon JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, that whosoever hearethH8085 of it, bothH8147 his earsH241 shall tingleH6750. 13And I will stretchH5186 over JerusalemH3389 the lineH6957 of SamariaH8111, and the plummetH4949 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: and I will wipeH4229 JerusalemH3389 as a man wipethH4229 a dishH6747, wipingH4229 it, and turningH2015 it upside downH6440.1 14And I will forsakeH5203 the remnantH7611 of mine inheritanceH5159, and deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341; and they shall become a preyH957 and a spoilH4933 to all their enemiesH341; 15Because they have doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in my sightH5869, and have provokedH4480 me to angerH3707, since the dayH3117 their fathersH1 came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117. 16Moreover ManassehH4519 shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 veryH3966 muchH7235, till he had filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 from one endH6310 to anotherH6310; beside his sinH2403 wherewith he made JudahH3063 to sinH2398, in doingH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068.2
17Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, and all that he didH6213, and his sinH2403 that he sinnedH2398, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
