- 并在欣嫩子谷使他的儿女经火,又观兆,用法术,行邪术,立交鬼的和行巫术的,多行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,惹动他的怒气,
- 又在神殿内立雕刻的偶像。神曾对大卫和他儿子所罗门说,我在以色列各支派中所选择的耶路撒冷和这殿,必立我的名直到永远。
- 以色列人若谨守遵行我藉摩西所吩咐他们的一切法度,律例,典章,我就不再使他们挪移离开我所赐给他们列祖之地。
- 玛拿西引诱犹大和耶路撒冷的居民,以致他们行恶比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更甚。
- 耶和华警戒玛拿西和他的百姓,他们却是不听。

- 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.
