Y’all must not be like your* ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: YHWH Almighty says, ‘Y’all must return now from your* evil ways evil deeds.’ But they didn’t hear or listen to me, declares YHWH.
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom YHWH destroyed before the children of Israel.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of YHWH, the God of Israel, are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
