11 (A)“Because Manasseh king of Judah has committed these abominations and has done things (B)more evil than all that the Amorites did, who were before him, (C)and has made Judah also to sin (D)with his idols, 12 therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing upon Jerusalem and Judah such disaster[a] that the ears of everyone who hears of it (E)will tingle. 13 (F)And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria, and the plumb line of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 And I will forsake the remnant of my heritage and give them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies, 15 because they have done what is evil in my sight and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.”

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.”
