² And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(A)according to the despicable practices of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.

^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,

^16 (A)Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides the sin ^(B)that he made Judah to sin so that they did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.

^17 (C)Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did, and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

²⁶ Still the Lord did not turn from the burning of his great wrath, by which his anger was kindled against Judah, ^(A)because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him.

³ Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the Lord, to remove them out of his sight, ^(A)for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, ⁴ and also ^(B)for the innocent blood that he had shed. For he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon.
