2 Kings 21:7-15

7And he setH7760 the gravenH6459 imageH6459 of AsherahH842, that he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of whichH834 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, whichH834 I have chosenH977 outH413 of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5769:

8neitherH3808 will I causeH5414 the feetH7272 of IsraelH3478 to wanderH5110 anyH3605 moreH4480 outH4480 of the landH127 whichH834 I gaveH5414 their fathersH1; ifH518 onlyH7535 they will observeH8104 to doH6213 accordingH4480 to allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 them, and accordingH4480 to allH3605 the lawH8451 that my servantH5650 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them.

9But they hearkened notH3808: and ManassehH4519 seducedH8582 them to doH6213 that whichH834 is evilH7451 moreH4480 thanH4480 didH6213 the nationsH1471, whomH834 the LORDH3068 destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

10And the LORDH3068 spake by his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559,

11BecauseH3282 ManassehH4519 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath doneH6213 theseH428 abominationsH8441, and hath doneH6213 wickedly aboveH6440 allH3605 that the AmoritesH567 didH6213, whichH834 were beforeH6440 him, and hath madeH6213 JudahH3063 also to sinH2398 with his idolsH1544:

12therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, BeholdH2005, I bringH935 suchH3651 evilH7451 uponH5921 JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, that whosoever heareth of it, bothH8147 his earsH241 shall tingleH6750.

13And I will stretchH5186 over JerusalemH3389 the lineH6440 of SamariaH8111, and the plummetH4949 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: and I will wipeH4229 JerusalemH3389 as a man wipeth a dishH6747, wiping it and turningH2015 it upside downH5186.

14And I will castH5414 offH5414 the remnantH7611 of mine inheritanceH5159, and deliverH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of their enemiesH341; and they shall becomeH1961 a preyH957 and a spoilH957 to allH3605 their enemiesH341;

15becauseH4480 they have doneH6213 that whichH834 is evilH7451 in my sightH5869, and have provokedH3707 meH4480 to angerH3707, sinceH4480 the dayH3117 their fathersH1 cameH1961 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, evenH5704 unto this dayH3117.
