Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:021:003 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his
father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and
made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all
the host of heaven, and served them.
12:021:004 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the
LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
12:021:005 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two
courts of the house of the LORD.
12:021:006 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times,
and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and
wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD,
to provoke him to anger.
12:021:007 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the
house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his
son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out
of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
12:021:008 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of
the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe
to do according to all that I have commanded them, and
according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
12:021:009 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more
evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the
children of Israel.
12:021:010 And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
12:021:011 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations,
and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which
were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his
idols:
12:021:012 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am
bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever
heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
12:021:013 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 wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
12:021:014 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and
deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall
become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
12:021:015 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.
12:021:016 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had
filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin
wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil
in the sight of the LORD.
