2 Kings 21:11-13
21:11 “King Manasseh of Judah has committed horrible sins.
He has sinned more than the Amorites before him and has encouraged Judah to sin by worshiping his disgusting idols.
21:12 So this is what the
Lord God of Israel says, ‘I am about to bring disaster on Jerusalem and Judah. The news will reverberate in the ears of those who hear about it.
21:13 I will destroy Jerusalem the same way I did Samaria
and the dynasty of Ahab.
I will wipe Jerusalem clean, just as one wipes a plate on both sides.
2 Kings 23:26-27
23:26 Yet the Lord’s great anger against Judah did not subside; he was still infuriated by all the things Manasseh had done.
23:27 The Lord announced, “I will also spurn Judah, just as I spurned Israel. I will reject this city that I chose – both Jerusalem and the temple, about which I said, “I will live there.”
2 Kings 24:3-4
24:3 Just as the
Lord had announced, he rejected Judah because of all the sins which Manasseh had committed.
24:4 Because he killed innocent people and stained Jerusalem with their blood, the
Lord was unwilling to forgive them.
