- He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger.
- He took the carved image he had made and put it in God's temple, of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, "In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever.
- I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land I assigned to your forefathers, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and ordinances given through Moses."
- But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
- The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.

- 並在欣嫩子谷、使他的兒女經火.又觀兆、用法術、行邪術、立交鬼的、和行巫術的、多行耶和華眼中看為惡的事、惹動他的怒氣。
- 又在 神殿內立雕刻的偶像. 神曾對大衛和他兒子所羅門說、我在以色列各支派中、所選擇的耶路撒冷和這殿、必立我的名直到永遠.
- 以色列人若謹守遵行我藉摩西所吩咐他們的一切法度、律例、典章、我就不再使他們挪移離開我所賜給他們列祖之地。
- 瑪拿西引誘猶大和耶路撒冷的居民、以致他們行惡比耶和華在以色列人面前所滅的列國更甚。
- 耶和華警戒瑪拿西和他的百姓、他們卻是不聽。
