- 所以耶和華使亞述王的將帥來攻擊他們、用鐃鉤鉤住瑪拿西、用銅鍊鎖住他、帶到巴比倫去。
- 他在急難的時候、就懇求耶和華他的 神、且在他列祖的 神面前極其自卑。
- 他祈禱耶和華、耶和華就允准他的祈求、垂聽他的禱告、使他歸回耶路撒冷、仍坐國位.瑪拿西這纔知道惟獨耶和華是 神。
- 此後瑪拿西在大衛城外、從谷內基訓西邊、直到魚門口、建築城牆、環繞俄斐勒、這牆築得甚高.又在猶大各堅固城內、設立勇敢的軍長。
- 並除掉外邦人的神像、與耶和華殿中的偶像、又將他在耶和華殿的山上、和耶路撒冷所築的各壇、都拆毀拋在城外。

- Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
- And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
- And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
- Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
- And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
