2 Kings 21:10-15 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. The Lord spoke through his servants the prophets. He said,

11. “Manasseh king of Judah has done these hated things. He has done more evil than the Amorites before him. Manasseh also has caused Judah to sin with his idols.

12. So this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will bring much trouble on Jerusalem and Judah. Anyone who hears about it will be shocked.

13. I will stretch the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem. And the plumb line used against Ahab’s family will be used on Jerusalem. I will wipe out Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish. He wipes it and turns it upside down.

14. I will go away from the rest of my people who are left. I will give them to their enemies. They will be robbed by all their enemies.

15. My people did what I said was wrong. They have made me angry from the day their ancestors left Egypt until now.’”
