10: And spokeH1696 YahwehH3068 byH3027 His servantsH5650 the prophets,H5030 saying,H0559

11: becauseH3282 thatH0834 has doneH6213 ManassehH4519 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 abominations,H8441 theseH0428 he has acted more wickedlyH7489 than allH3605 thatH0834 did,H6213 the AmoritesH0567 who [were]H0834 before himH6440 and has made sinH2398 alsoH1571 -H0853 JudahH3063 with his idols-H1544

15: becauseH3282 thatH0834 they have doneH6213 -H0853 evilH7451 in My sight,H5869 and haveH1961 provoked to angerH3707 MeH0853 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 whichH0834 cameH3318 their fathersH0001 out of EgyptH4714 and even toH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088
