2 Kings 21:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 ‘Manasseh, the king of Judah, has done terrible sins. He has done more evil things than the Amorites did, who lived in Canaan before him. He has caused the people of Judah to do wrong things as they worship his idols. 12 So the Lord, Israel's God, says this: “I will cause great trouble to happen in Jerusalem and in all the kingdom of Judah. Everyone who hears the news about it will be very surprised. 13 I will judge Jerusalem and I will punish the people, as I punished Samaria and the family of King Ahab.[a] I will remove the people from Jerusalem, like someone who washes the dirt from both sides of a plate.

11 “Manasseh king of Judah has committed these detestable sins. He has done more evil(A) than the Amorites(B) who preceded him and has led Judah into sin with his idols.(C) 12 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster(D) on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.(E) 13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line(F) used against the house of Ahab. I will wipe(G) out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
