The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying, 2Ch 33:102Ch 36:15Mat 23:34-37Neh 9:26Neh 9:30 “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols; 1Ki 21:262Ki 24:3-42Ki 21:9Jer 15:41Ki 14:161Ki 15:301Ki 16:192Ki 21:16 therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle. Jer 19:31Sa 3:112Ki 22:16Amo 3:2Dan 9:12Mic 3:12Isa 28:16Luk 23:28-29 I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
