- "Notwithstanding¹ the LORDª turnedª° not¹ from the fiercenessª¹ of his greatª wrath,ª wherewith¹ his angerª was kindledª° against Judah,ª because¹ of all¹ the provocationsª that¹ Manassehª had provokedª° him withal. ... And the LORDª said,ª° I will removeª°¹ Judahª also¹ out of¹¹ my sight,ª as¹ I have removedª°¹ Israel,ª and will cast offª°¹ this¹ cityª¹ Jerusalemª which¹ I have chosen,ª° and the houseª of which¹ I said,ª° My nameª shall be¹ there.¹" {2Kg 23:26-27} + "Surely¹ at¹ the commandmentª of the LORDª came¹ [this] upon Judah,ª to removeª° [them] out of¹¹ his sight,ª for the sinsª of Manasseh,ª according to all¹ that¹ he did;ª° ... And also¹ for the innocentª bloodª that¹ he shed:ª° for he filledª°¹ Jerusalemª with innocentª blood;ª which the LORDª wouldª° not¹ pardon.ª°" {2Kg 24:3-4} + "And I will causeª° them to be removedª°² into all¹ kingdomsª of the earth,ª because² of¹ Manassehª the sonª of Hezekiahª kingª of Judah,ª for¹ [that] which¹ he didª° in Jerusalem.ª" {Jer 15:4}
