10 And the Lord spoke (A)by His servants the prophets, saying, 11 (B)“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations ((C)he has acted more wickedly than all the (D)Amorites who were before him, and (E)has also made Judah sin with his idols), 12 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both (F)his ears will tingle. 13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem (G)the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; (H)I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 So I will forsake the (I)remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become victims of plunder to all their enemies, 15 because they have done evil in My sight, and have provoked Me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’ ”

16 (J)Moreover Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the Lord.

10 The Lord said through his servants the prophets: 11 “Manasseh king of Judah has committed these detestable sins. He has done more evil(A) than the Amorites(B) who preceded him and has led Judah into sin with his idols.(C) 12 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster(D) on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.(E) 13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line(F) used against the house of Ahab. I will wipe(G) out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 I will forsake(H) the remnant(I) of my inheritance and give them into the hands of enemies. They will be looted and plundered by all their enemies; 15 they have done evil(J) in my eyes and have aroused(K) my anger from the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day.”

16 Moreover, Manasseh also shed so much innocent blood(L) that he filled Jerusalem from end to end—besides the sin that he had caused Judah(M) to commit, so that they did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
