12 So this is what I, the Lord God of Israel, said: I’m going to bring such a disaster on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears about it will ring.
13 I will measure Jerusalem with the measuring line used for Samaria and the plumb line used for Ahab’s dynasty. I will wipe out Jerusalem in the same way that a dish is wiped out and turned upside down.
14 I will abandon the rest of my people. I will put them under the control of their enemies, and they will become property that their enemies capture.
15 I will do this because they have done what I consider evil and have been making me furious from the time their ancestors left Egypt until this day.”
16 In addition to his sin that he led Judah to commit in front of the Lord, Manasseh also killed a lot of innocent people from one end of Jerusalem to the other.
17 Isn’t everything else about Manasseh—everything he did, the sins he committed—written in the official records of the kings of Judah?
18 Manasseh lay down in death with his ancestors. He was buried in the garden of his own palace, in the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
