^4 (A)And I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what ^(B)Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.

⁹ I will make them ^(A)a horror^[a] to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be ^(B)a reproach, ^(C)a byword, ^(D)a taunt, and ^(E)a curse in all the places where I shall drive them.

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.

¹⁸ I will pursue them with ^(A)sword, famine, and pestilence, ^(B)and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, ^(C)to be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations ^(D)where I have driven them,

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. ²⁷ And the Lord said, “I will remove Judah also out of my sight, ^(B)as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, ^(C)and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.”

^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?

^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.

⁴⁶ For thus says the Lord God: ^(A)“Bring up a vast host against them, and make them ^(B)an object of terror and ^(C)a plunder.

^25 (A)“The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them. And you ^(B)shall be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
