ManassehH4519 was twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HephzibahH2657.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For he built upH1129 againH7725 the high placesH1116 which HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had destroyedH6; and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalH1168, and madeH6213 a groveH842, as didH6213 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, of which the LORDH3068 saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he made his sonH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784, and observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and dealtH6213 with familiar spiritsH178 and wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
And he setH7760 a graven imageH6459 of the groveH842 that he had madeH6213 in the houseH1004, of which the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 out of all tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5769:
Neither will I make the feetH7272 of IsraelH3478 moveH5110 any moreH3254 out of the landH127 which I gaveH5414 their fathersH1; only if they will observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 them, and according to all the lawH8451 that my servantH5650 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them.
But they hearkenedH8085 not: and ManassehH4519 seducedH8582 them to doH6213 more evilH7451 than did the nationsH1471 whom the LORDH3068 destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559,
Because ManassehH4519 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath doneH6213 these abominationsH8441, and hath done wickedlyH7489 above all that the AmoritesH567 didH6213, which were beforeH6440 him, and hath made JudahH3063 also to sinH2398 with his idolsH1544:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I am bringingH935 such evilH7451 upon JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, that whosoever hearethH8085 of it, bothH8147 his earsH241 shall tingleH6750.
And I will stretchH5186 over JerusalemH3389 the lineH6957 of SamariaH8111, and the plummetH4949 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: and I will wipeH4229 JerusalemH3389 as a man wipethH4229 a dishH6747, wipingH4229 it, and turningH2015 it upside downH6440. {wiping…: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof}
And I will forsakeH5203 the remnantH7611 of mine inheritanceH5159, and deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341; and they shall become a preyH957 and a spoilH4933 to all their enemiesH341;
Because they have doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in my sightH5869, and have provokedH4480 me to angerH3707, since the dayH3117 their fathersH1 came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117.
Moreover ManassehH4519 shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 veryH3966 muchH7235, till he had filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 from one endH6310 to anotherH6310; beside his sinH2403 wherewith he made JudahH3063 to sinH2398, in doingH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, and all that he didH6213, and his sinH2403 that he sinnedH2398, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And ManassehH4519 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the gardenH1588 of his own houseH1004, in the gardenH1588 of UzzaH5798: and AmonH526 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
AmonH526 was twentyH6242 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twoH8147 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was MeshullemethH4922, the daughterH1323 of HaruzH2743 of JotbahH3192.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as his fatherH1 ManassehH4519 didH6213.
And he walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 that his fatherH1 walked inH1980, and servedH5647 the idolsH1544 that his fatherH1 servedH5647, and worshippedH7812 them:
And he forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1, and walkedH1980 not in the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068.
And the servantsH5650 of AmonH526 conspiredH7194 against him, and slewH4191 the kingH4428 in his own houseH1004.
And the peopleH5971 of the landH776 slewH5221 all them that had conspiredH7194 against kingH4428 AmonH526; and the peopleH5971 of the landH776 made JosiahH2977 his sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmonH526 which he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And he was buriedH6912 in his sepulchreH6900 in the gardenH1588 of UzzaH5798: and JosiahH2977 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Josiah: Gr. Josias}

And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 did carry awayH1540 IsraelH3478 unto AssyriaH804, and putH5148 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074:
If ye walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and doH6213 them;
Then I will giveH5414 you rainH1653 in due seasonH6256, and the landH776 shall yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, and the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yieldH5414 their fruitH6529.
And your threshingH1786 shall reachH5381 unto the vintageH1210, and the vintageH1210 shall reachH5381 unto the sowing timeH2233: and ye shall eatH398 your breadH3899 to the fullH7648, and dwellH3427 in your landH776 safelyH983.
And I will giveH5414 peaceH7965 in the landH776, and ye shall lie downH7901, and none shall make you afraidH2729: and I will ridH7673 evilH7451 beastsH2416 out of the landH776, neither shall the swordH2719 goH5674 through your landH776. {rid: Heb. cause to cease}
And ye shall chaseH7291 your enemiesH341, and they shall fallH5307 beforeH6440 you by the swordH2719.
And fiveH2568 of you shall chaseH7291 an hundredH3967, and an hundredH3967 of you shall put ten thousandH7233 to flightH7291: and your enemiesH341 shall fallH5307 beforeH6440 you by the swordH2719.
For I will have respectH6437 unto you, and make you fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 you, and establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with you.
And ye shall eatH398 old storeH3462, and bring forthH3318 the oldH3465 becauseH6440 of the newH2319.
And I will setH5414 my tabernacleH4908 amongH8432 you: and my soulH5315 shall not abhorH1602 you.
And I will walkH1980 amongH8432 you, and will beH1961 your GodH430, and ye shall beH1961 my peopleH5971.
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ye should not be their bondmenH5650; and I have brokenH7665 the bandsH4133 of your yokeH5923, and made you goH3212 uprightH6968.
Moreover I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in a place of their own, and moveH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 afflictH6031 them any moreH3254, as beforetimeH7223,
And the LORDH3068 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of your wordsH1697, when ye spakeH1696 unto me; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, I have heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697 of this peopleH5971, which they have spokenH1696 unto thee: they have wellH3190 said all that they have spokenH1696.
Also I will ordainH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in their place, and shall be movedH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them any moreH3254, as at the beginningH7223,
O that there were suchH2088 anH4310 heartH3824 in themH5414, that they would fearH3372 me, and keepH8104 all my commandmentsH4687 alwaysH3117, that it might be wellH3190 with them, and with their childrenH1121 for everH5769!
Neither will I any moreH3254 removeH5493 the footH7272 of IsraelH3478 from outH5921 of the landH127 which I have appointedH5975 for your fathersH1; so thatH518 they will take heedH8104 to doH6213 all that I have commandedH6680 them, according to the whole lawH8451 and the statutesH2706 and the ordinancesH4941 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearkenH8085 diligentlyH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to observeH8104 and to doH6213 all his commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will setH5414 thee on highH5945 above all nationsH1471 of the earthH776:
And all these blessingsH1293 shall comeH935 on thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, if thou shalt hearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
BlessedH1288 shalt thou be in the cityH5892, and blessedH1288 shalt thou be in the fieldH7704.
BlessedH1288 shall be the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990, and the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, and the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, the increaseH7698 of thy kineH504, and the flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629.
BlessedH1288 shall be thy basketH2935 and thy storeH4863. {store: or, dough, or, kneadingtroughs}
BlessedH1288 shalt thou be when thou comest inH935, and blessedH1288 shalt thou be when thou goest outH3318.
The LORDH3068 shall causeH5414 thine enemiesH341 that rise upH6965 against thee to be smittenH5062 before thy faceH6440: they shall come outH3318 against thee oneH259 wayH1870, and fleeH5127 beforeH6440 thee sevenH7651 waysH1870.
The LORDH3068 shall commandH6680 the blessingH1293 upon thee in thy storehousesH618, and in all that thou settestH4916 thine handH3027 unto; and he shall blessH1288 thee in the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee. {storehouses: or, barns}
The LORDH3068 shall establishH6965 thee an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto himself, as he hath swornH7650 unto thee, if thou shalt keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
And all peopleH5971 of the earthH776 shall seeH7200 that thou art calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; and they shall be afraidH3372 of thee.
And the LORDH3068 shall make thee plenteousH3498 in goodsH2896, in the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990, and in the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, and in the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, in the landH127 which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee. {in goods: or, for good} {body: Heb. belly}
The LORDH3068 shall openH6605 unto thee his goodH2896 treasureH214, the heavenH8064 to giveH5414 the rainH4306 unto thy landH776 in his seasonH6256, and to blessH1288 all the workH4639 of thine handH3027: and thou shalt lendH3867 unto manyH7227 nationsH1471, and thou shalt not borrowH3867.
And the LORDH3068 shall makeH5414 thee the headH7218, and not the tailH2180; and thou shalt be above onlyH4605, and thou shalt not be beneathH4295; if that thou hearkenH8085 unto the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to observeH8104 and to doH6213 them:
And thou shalt not go asideH5493 from any of the wordsH1697 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040, to goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them.
Take goodH3966 heedH8104 therefore unto yourselvesH5315, that ye loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. {yourselves: Heb. your souls}
Else if ye do in any wiseH7725 go backH7725, and cleaveH1692 unto the remnantH3499 of these nationsH1471, even these that remainH7604 among you, and shall make marriagesH2859 with them, and go inH935 unto them, and they to you:
KnowH3045 for a certaintyH3045 that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will no moreH3254 drive outH3423 any of these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; but they shall be snaresH6341 and trapsH4170 unto you, and scourgesH7850 in your sidesH6654, and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, until ye perishH6 from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
TrustH982 in the LORDH3068, and doH6213 goodH2896; so shalt thou dwellH7931 in the landH776, and verilyH530 thou shalt be fedH7462. {verily: Heb. in truth, or, stableness}
But my peopleH5971 would not hearkenH8085 to my voiceH6963; and IsraelH3478 wouldH14 none of me.
So I gave them upH7971 unto their own hearts'H3820 lustH8307: and they walkedH3212 in their own counselsH4156. {unto…: or, to the hardness of their hearts, or, imagination}
OhH3863 that my peopleH5971 had hearkenedH8085 unto me, and IsraelH3478 had walkedH1980 in my waysH1870!
I should soonH4592 have subduedH3665 their enemiesH341, and turnedH7725 my handH3027 against their adversariesH6862.
The hatersH8130 of the LORDH3068 should have submittedH3584 themselves unto him: but their timeH6256 should have endured for everH5769. {submitted…: or, yielded feigned obedience: Heb. lied}
He should have fedH398 them also with the finestH2459 of the wheatH2406: and with honeyH1706 out of the rockH6697 should I have satisfiedH7646 thee. {finest…: Heb. fat of wheat}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, AmendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and I will cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725.
TrustH982 ye not in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, are these.
For if ye throughlyH3190 amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611; if ye throughlyH6213 executeH6213 judgmentH4941 between a manH376 and his neighbourH7453;
If ye oppressH6231 not the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neither walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to your hurtH7451:
Then will I cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725, in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
But this thingH1697 commandedH6680 I them, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and I will be your GodH430, and ye shall be my peopleH5971: and walkH1980 ye in all the waysH1870 that I have commandedH6680 you, that it may be wellH3190 unto you.
And sayH559 unto them, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and all JudahH3063, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, that enter inH935 by these gatesH8179:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Take heedH8104 to yourselvesH5315, and bearH5375 no burdenH4853 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, nor bringH935 it in by the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389;
Neither carry forthH3318 a burdenH4853 out of your housesH1004 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, neither doH6213 ye any workH4399, but hallowH6942 ye the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, as I commandedH6680 your fathersH1.
But they obeyedH8085 not, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241, but made their neckH6203 stiffH7185, that they might not hearH8085, nor receiveH3947 instructionH4148.
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligentlyH8085 hearkenH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to bringH935 in no burdenH4853 through the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, but hallowH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to doH6213 noH1115 workH4399 therein;
Then shall there enterH935 into the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 kingsH4428 and princesH8269 sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, they, and their princesH8269, the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: and this cityH5892 shall remainH3427 for everH5769.
And they shall comeH935 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and from the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and from the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and from the plainH8219, and from the mountainsH2022, and from the southH5045, bringingH935 burnt offeringsH5930, and sacrificesH2077, and meat offeringsH4503, and incenseH3828, and bringingH935 sacrifices of praiseH8426, unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me to hallowH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and not to bearH5375 a burdenH4853, even entering inH935 at the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117; then will I kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the gatesH8179 thereof, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389, and it shall not be quenchedH3518.
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? yea, thou shalt shewH3045 her all her abominationsH8441. {judge: or, plead for} {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}
Then sayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, The cityH5892 sheddethH8210 bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of it, that her timeH6256 may comeH935, and makethH6213 idolsH1544 against herself to defileH2930 herself.
Thou art become guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210; and hast defiledH2930 thyself in thine idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to draw nearH7126, and art comeH935 even unto thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH5414 thee a reproachH2781 unto the heathenH1471, and a mockingH7048 to all countriesH776.
Those that be nearH7138, and those that be farH7350 from thee, shall mockH7046 thee, which art infamousH2931+H8034 and muchH7227 vexedH4103. {infamous…: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation}
Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 were in thee to their powerH2220 to shedH8210 bloodH1818. {power: Heb. arm}
In thee have they set lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517: in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealtH6213 by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they vexedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. {oppression: or, deceit}
Thou hast despisedH959 mine holy thingsH6944, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
In thee are menH582 that carry talesH7400 to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they eatH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they commitH6213 lewdnessH2154. {that…: Heb. of slanders}
In thee have they discoveredH1540 their fathers'H1 nakednessH6172: in thee have they humbledH6031 her that was set apartH5079 for pollutionH2931.
And oneH376 hath committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802; and anotherH376 hath lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his daughter in lawH3618; and anotherH376 in thee hath humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father'sH1 daughterH1323. {one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}
In thee have they takenH3947 giftsH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 usuryH5392 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gainedH1214 of thy neighboursH7453 by extortionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Behold, therefore I have smittenH5221 mine handH3709 at thy dishonest gainH1215 which thou hast madeH6213, and at thy bloodH1818 which hath been in the midstH8432 of thee.
Can thine heartH3820 endureH5975, or can thine handsH3027 be strongH2388, in the daysH3117 that I shall dealH6213 with thee? I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and will doH6213 it.
And I will scatterH6327 thee among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 thee in the countriesH776, and will consumeH8552 thy filthinessH2932 out of thee.
And thou shalt take thine inheritanceH2490+H5157 in thyself in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {shalt take…: or, shalt be profaned}
Wherefore sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Ye eatH398 with the bloodH1818, and lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 toward your idolsH1544, and shedH8210 bloodH1818: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
Ye standH5975 upon your swordH2719, ye workH6213 abominationH8441, and ye defileH2930 every oneH376 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
SayH559 thou thus unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely they that are in the wastesH2723 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and him that is in the openH6440 fieldH7704 will I giveH5414 to the beastsH2416 to be devouredH398, and they that be in the fortsH4679 and in the cavesH4631 shall dieH4191 of the pestilenceH1698. {to be…: Heb. to devour him}
For I will layH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077, and the pompH1347 of her strengthH5797 shall ceaseH7673; and the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall be desolateH8074, that none shall pass throughH5674. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have laidH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077 because of all their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213.
