Manasseh hath done wickedly, above what the Amorites did The Canaanitish nations; all so called from one eminent part of them, Genesis 15:16. And hath made Judah to sin with his idols By his example, encouragement, counsel, authority, and command. Therefore I am bringing evil upon Jerusalem It will come, and it is at no great distance. Whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle The report of it shall fill men's minds with terror and amazement.
