He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.
Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,
He went in all the ways of his father, being a servant and worshipper of the false gods to which his father had been a servant;
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord as his fathers had done.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Jehoiakim had done.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done.
And now you have come to take the place of your fathers, another generation of sinners, increasing the wrath of the Lord against Israel.
You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell?
You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.
