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.

And they were helpedH5826 against them, and the HagaritesH1905 were deliveredH5414 into their handH3027, and all that were with them: for they criedH2199 to GodH430 in the battleH4421, and he was intreatedH6279 of them; because they put their trustH982 in him.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, which hath putH5414 such a thing as this in the king'sH4428 heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389:
Ye have not eatenH398 breadH3899, neither have ye drunkH8354 wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941: that ye might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
When a man'sH376 waysH1870 pleaseH7521 the LORDH3068, he maketh even his enemiesH341 to be at peaceH7999 with him.
The LORDH3068 is knownH3045 by the judgmentH4941 which he executethH6213: the wickedH7563 is snaredH5367 in the workH6467 of his own handsH3709. HiggaionH1902. SelahH5542. {Higgaion: that is, Meditation}
If thou returnH7725 to the AlmightyH7706, thou shalt be built upH1129, thou shalt put awayH7368 iniquityH5766 farH7368 from thy tabernaclesH168.
The king'sH4428 heartH3820 is in the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, as the riversH6388 of waterH4325: he turnethH5186 it whithersoever he willH2654.
Be stillH7503, and knowH3045 that I am GodH430: I will be exaltedH7311 among the heathenH1471, I will be exaltedH7311 in the earthH776.
Thou shalt make thy prayerH6279 unto him, and he shall hearH8085 thee, and thou shalt payH7999 thy vowsH5088.
ButG1161 seek yeG2212 firstG4412 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG2532 hisG846 righteousnessG1343; andG2532 allG3956 these thingsG5023 shall be addedG4369 unto youG5213.
And I will giveH5414 them an heartH3820 to knowH3045 me, that I am the LORDH3068: and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430: for they shall returnH7725 unto me with their whole heartH3820.
Then he openethH1540 the earsH241 of menH582, and sealethH2856 their instructionH4561, {he…: Heb. he revealeth, or, uncovereth}
That he may withdrawH5493 manH120 from his purposeH4639, and hideH3680 prideH1466 from manH1397. {purpose: Heb. work}
He keepeth backH2820 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, and his lifeH2416 from perishingH5674 by the swordH7973. {from perishing: Heb. from passing}
He is chastenedH3198 also with painH4341 upon his bedH4904, and the multitudeH7230+H7379 of his bonesH6106 with strongH386 pain:
So that his lifeH2416 abhorrethH2092 breadH3899, and his soulH5315 daintyH8378 meatH3978. {dainty…: Heb. meat of desire}
His fleshH1320 is consumed awayH3615, that it cannot be seenH7210; and his bonesH6106 that were not seenH7200 stick outH8192+H8205.
Yea, his soulH5315 draweth nearH7126 unto the graveH7845, and his lifeH2416 to the destroyersH4191.
If thereH3426 be a messengerH4397 with him, an interpreterH3887, oneH259 among a thousandH505, to shewH5046 unto manH120 his uprightnessH3476:
Then he is graciousH2603 unto him, and saithH559, DeliverH6308 him from going downH3381 to the pitH7845: I have foundH4672 a ransomH3724. {a ransom: or, an atonement}
His fleshH1320 shall be fresherH7375 than a child'sH5290: he shall returnH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthH5934: {a child's: Heb. childhood}
He shall prayH6279 unto GodH433, and he will be favourableH7521 unto him: and he shall seeH7200 his faceH6440 with joyH8643: for he will renderH7725 unto manH582 his righteousnessH6666.
He lookethH7789 upon menH582, and if any sayH559, I have sinnedH2398, and pervertedH5753 that which was rightH3477, and it profitedH7737 me not; {He…: or, He shall look upon men, and say}
He will deliverH6299 his soulH5315 from goingH5674 into the pitH7845, and his lifeH2416 shall seeH7200 the lightH216. {He…: or, He hath delivered my soul, etc, and my life}
Lo, all these things workethH6466 GodH410 oftentimesH6471+H7969 with manH1397, {oftentimes: Heb. twice and thrice}
To bring backH7725 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, to be enlightenedH215 with the lightH216 of the livingH2416.
That they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall beH1934 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, and they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and they shall wetH6647 thee with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, tillH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
When I kept silenceH2790, my bonesH6106 waxed oldH1086 through my roaringH7581 all the dayH3117 long.
For dayH3119 and nightH3915 thy handH3027 was heavyH3513 upon me: my moistureH3955 is turnedH2015 into the droughtH2725 of summerH7019. SelahH5542.
I acknowledgedH3045 my sinH2403 unto thee, and mine iniquityH5771 have I not hidH3680. I saidH559, I will confessH3034 my transgressionsH6588 unto the LORDH3068; and thou forgavestH5375 the iniquityH5771 of my sinH2403. SelahH5542.
And at the endH7118 of the daysH3118 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 lifted upH5191 mine eyesH5870 unto heavenH8065, and mine understandingH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922, and I blessedH1289 the most HighH5943, and I praisedH7624 and honouredH1922 him that livethH2417 for everH5957, whose dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, and his kingdomH4437 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859:
For thou, LordH136, art goodH2896, and ready to forgiveH5546; and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 unto all them that callH7121 upon thee.
And allH3606 the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772 are reputedH2804 as nothingH3809: and he doethH5648 according to his willH6634 in the armyH2429 of heavenH8065, and among the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772: and noneH3809 canH383 stayH4223 his handH3028, or sayH560 unto him, WhatH4101 doestH5648 thou?
SeekH1875 ye the LORDH3068 while he may be foundH4672, callH7121 ye upon him while he is nearH7138:
Let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteousH205 manH376 his thoughtsH4284: and let him returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantlyH7235 pardonH5545. {the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon}
For my thoughtsH4284 are not your thoughtsH4284, neither are your waysH1870 my waysH1870, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For as the heavensH8064 are higherH1361 than the earthH776, so are my waysH1870 higherH1361 than your waysH1870, and my thoughtsH4284 than your thoughtsH4284.
AndG1161 thisG3778 isG2076 lifeG2222 eternalG166, thatG2443 they might knowG1097 theeG4571 the onlyG3441 trueG228 GodG2316, andG2532 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whomG3739 thou hast sentG649.
Then shall ye callH7121 upon me, and ye shall goH1980 and prayH6419 unto me, and I will hearkenH8085 unto you.
AndG2532 they shallG1321 notG3364 teachG1321 every manG1538 hisG846 neighbourG4139, andG2532 every manG1538 hisG846 brotherG80, sayingG3004, KnowG1097 the LordG2962: forG3754 allG3956 shall knowG1492 meG3165, fromG575 the leastG3398+G846 toG2193 the greatestG3173+G846.
And ye shall seekH1245 me, and findH4672 me, when ye shall searchH1875 for me with all your heartH3824.
AskG154, andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 youG5213; seekG2212, andG2532 ye shall findG2147; knockG2925, andG2532 it shall be openedG455 unto youG5213:
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that askethG154 receivethG2983; andG2532 he that seekethG2212 findethG2147; andG2532 to him that knockethG2925 it shall be openedG455.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto JesusG2424, LordG2962, rememberG3415 meG3450 whenG3752 thou comestG2064 intoG1722 thyG4675 kingdomG932.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, To dayG4594 shalt thou beG2071 withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 paradiseG3857.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto herG846, IfG1487 thou knewestG1492 the giftG1431 of GodG2316, andG2532 whoG5101 it isG2076 that saithG3004 to theeG4671, GiveG1325 meG3427 to drinkG4095; thouG4771 wouldestG302 have askedG154 of himG846, andG2532 he wouldG302 have givenG1325 theeG4671 livingG2198 waterG5204.
