2 Chronicles 33:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Manasseh^(A) set up a carved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s temple^(B) that God had spoken about to David and his son Solomon: “I will establish my name forever^[a](C) in this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.^{(D) 8} I will never again remove the feet of the Israelites from the land where I stationed your^[b](E) ancestors,^(F) if only they will be careful to do all I have commanded them through Moses—all the law, statutes, and judgments.” ⁹ So Manasseh caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to stray so that they did worse evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
