ManassehH4519 was twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389:
But didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, like unto the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 had cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For he builtH1129 againH7725 the high placesH1116 which HezekiahH3169 his fatherH1 had broken downH5422, and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalimH1168, and madeH6213 grovesH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them. {he built…: Heb. he returned and built}
Also he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 shall my nameH8034 be for everH5769.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he causedH5674 his childrenH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011: also he observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and used witchcraftH3784, and dealtH6213 with a familiar spiritH178, and with wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
And he setH7760 a carved imageH6459, the idolH5566 which he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of GodH430, of which GodH430 had saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 before all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5865:
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.
So ManassehH4519 madeH8582 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to errH8582, and to doH6213 worseH7451 than the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 had destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 to ManassehH4519, and to his peopleH5971: but they would not hearkenH7181.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them the captains ofH8269 the host ofH6635 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, which tookH3920 ManassehH4519 among the thornsH2336, and bound himH631 with fettersH5178, and carriedH3212 him to BabylonH894. {of the king: Heb. which were the king's} {fetters: or, chains}
And when he was in afflictionH6887, he besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1,
And prayedH6419 unto him: and he was intreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and brought him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 he was GodH430.
Now after thisH310 he builtH1129 a wallH2346 withoutH2435 the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, on the west sideH4628 of GihonH1521, in the valleyH5158, even to the entering inH935 at the fishH1709 gateH8179, and compassedH5437 about OphelH6077, and raised it upH1361 a very great heightH3966, and putH7760 captainsH8269 of warH2428 in all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. {Ophel: or, the tower}
And he took awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430, and the idolH5566 out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the altarsH4196 that he had builtH1129 in the mountH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in JerusalemH3389, and castH7993 them outH2351 of the cityH5892.
And he repairedH1129 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, and sacrificedH2076 thereon peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 and thank offeringsH8426, and commandedH559 JudahH3063 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
NeverthelessH61 the peopleH5971 did sacrificeH2076 still in the high placesH1116, yet unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430 only.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, and his prayerH8605 unto his GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of the seersH2374 that spakeH1696 to him in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, behold, they are written in the bookH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
His prayerH8605 also, and how God was intreatedH6279 of him, and all his sinH2403, and his trespassH4604, and the placesH4725 wherein he builtH1129 high placesH1116, and set upH5975 grovesH842 and graven imagesH6456, beforeH6440 he was humbledH3665: behold, they are writtenH3789 among the sayingsH1697 of the seersH2374+H2335. {the seers: or, Hosai}
So ManassehH4519 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in his own houseH1004: and AmonH526 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
AmonH526 was twoH8147 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 twoH8147 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
But he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as didH6213 ManassehH4519 his fatherH1: for AmonH526 sacrificedH2076 unto all the carved imagesH6456 which ManassehH4519 his fatherH1 had madeH6213, and servedH5647 them;
And humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, as ManassehH4519 his fatherH1 had humbledH3665 himself; but AmonH526 trespassedH819 more and moreH7235. {trespassed more and more: Heb. multiplied trespass}
And his servantsH5650 conspiredH7194 against him, and slewH4191 him in his own houseH1004.
But the peopleH5971 of the landH776 slewH5221 all them that had conspiredH7194 against kingH4428 AmonH526; and the peopleH5971 of the landH776 madeH4427 JosiahH2977 his sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead.

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 as for thee, if thou wilt walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and shalt observeH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941;
Then will I stablishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4438, according as I have covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478. {There…: Heb. There shall not be cut off to thee}
But if ye turn awayH7725, and forsakeH5800 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, and shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them;
Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428 out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have sanctifiedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7993 of my sightH6440, and will makeH5414 it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nationsH5971.
And this houseH1004, which is highH5945, shall be an astonishmentH8074 to every one that passethH5674 by it; so that he shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and unto this houseH1004?
And it shall be answeredH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath he broughtH935 all this evilH7451 upon them.
Thou shalt keepH8104 therefore his statutesH2706, and his commandmentsH4687, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, that it may go wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee, and that thou mayest prolongH748 thy daysH3117 upon the earthH127, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, for ever.
So AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 didH6213 all thingsH1697 which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
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,
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.
And MosesH4872 calledH7121 all IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, HearH8085, O IsraelH3478, the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 which I speakH1696 in your earsH241 this dayH3117, that ye may learnH3925 them, and keepH8104, and doH6213 them. {keep…: Heb. keep to do them}
And that ye may teachH3384 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 all the statutesH2706 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 unto them by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
SeeH7200, I have setH5414 beforeH6440 thee this dayH3117 lifeH2416 and goodH2896, and deathH4194 and evilH7451;
In that I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117 to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to walkH3212 in his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 and his judgmentsH4941, that thou mayest liveH2421 and multiplyH7235: and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in the landH776 whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it.
But if thine heartH3824 turn awayH6437, so that thou wilt not hearH8085, but shalt be drawn awayH5080, and worshipH7812 otherH312 godsH430, and serveH5647 them;
I denounceH5046 unto you this dayH3117, that ye shall surelyH6 perishH6, and that ye shall not prolongH748 your daysH3117 upon the landH127, whither thou passest overH5674 JordanH3383 to goH935 to possessH3423 it.
I callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to recordH5749 this dayH3117 against you, that I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you lifeH2416 and deathH4194, blessingH1293 and cursingH7045: therefore chooseH977 lifeH2416, that both thou and thy seedH2233 may liveH2421:
That thou mayest loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that thou mayest obeyH8085 his voiceH6963, and that thou mayest cleaveH1692 unto him: for he is thy lifeH2416, and the lengthH753 of thy daysH3117: that thou mayest dwellH3427 in the landH127 which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290, to giveH5414 them.
But as for thee, standH5975 thou here by meH5978, and I will speakH1696 unto thee all the commandmentsH4687, and the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, which thou shalt teachH3925 them, that they may doH6213 them in the landH776 which I giveH5414 them to possessH3423 it.
Ye shall observeH8104 to doH6213 therefore as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath commandedH6680 you: ye shall not turn asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
Ye shall walkH3212 in all the waysH1870 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath commandedH6680 you, that ye may liveH2421, and that it may be wellH2895 with you, and that ye may prolongH748 your daysH3117 in the landH776 which ye shall possessH3423.
Now these are the commandmentsH4687, the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 commandedH6680 to teachH3925 you, that ye might doH6213 them in the landH776 whither ye goH5674 to possessH3423 it: {go: Heb. pass over}
But if ye refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, ye shall be devouredH398 with the swordH2719: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
All the commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117 shall ye observeH8104 to doH6213, that ye may liveH2421, and multiplyH7235, and go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto your fathersH1.
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?
CursedH779 be he that confirmethH6965 not all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 to doH6213 them. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.
Ye standH5975 upon your swordH2719, ye workH6213 abominationH8441, and ye defileH2930 every oneH376 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
AndG1161 they wereG2258 bothG297 righteousG1342 beforeG1799 GodG2316, walkingG4198 inG1722 allG3956 the commandmentsG1785 andG2532 ordinancesG1345 of the LordG2962 blamelessG273.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
ButG1161 thatG3754 no manG3762 is justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 in the sightG3844 of GodG2316, it is evidentG1212: forG3754, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
AndG1161 the lawG3551 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: butG235, The manG444 that doethG4160 themG846 shall liveG2198 inG1722 themG846.
ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG2248 fromG1537 the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG2257: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 that hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
