2 Kings 21:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ My people have done what I hate and have not stopped making me angry since their ancestors left Egypt.

¹⁶ Manasseh was guilty of causing the people of Judah to sin and disobey the Lord. He also refused to protect innocent people—he even let so many of them be killed^[a] that their blood filled the streets of Jerusalem.

¹⁷ Everything else Manasseh did while he was king, including his terrible sins, is written in The History of the Kings of Judah.
