But the people refused to listen, and Manasseh led them to do even more evil than the pagan nations that the Lord had destroyed when the people of Israel entered the land.

他们却不听从。玛拿西引诱他们行恶，比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更甚。

他们却不听从，并且玛拿西引诱他们行恶，比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更严重。

他们却不听从，并且玛拿西引诱他们行恶，比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更严重。

可是以色列人不肯听从。玛拿西诱使他们作恶，比耶和华在以色列人面前所毁灭的各族更严重。

但是他们没有听从。玛拿西引诱他们去作坏事，比耶和华从以色列人面前消灭的外族人更厉害。

他們卻不聽從。瑪拿西引誘他們行惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所滅的列國更甚。

他們卻不聽從，並且瑪拿西引誘他們行惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所滅的列國更嚴重。

他們卻不聽從，並且瑪拿西引誘他們行惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所滅的列國更嚴重。

可是以色列人不肯聽從。瑪拿西誘使他們作惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所毀滅的各族更嚴重。

但是他們沒有聽從。瑪拿西引誘他們去作壞事，比耶和華從以色列人面前消滅的外族人更厲害。

然而他們卻不聽從；而瑪拿西竟迷惑了他們去行壞事、比永恆主從以色列人面前所除滅的外國人更壞。

惟彼不聽、瑪拿西又誘之、致其作惡、較耶和華在以色列人前、所滅之族尤甚、

乃民不聽從、瑪拿西誘之作惡、較主在以色列人前所滅異族之民尤甚、

But the people did not listen. Manasseh led them astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.

But the people didn’t pay any attention. Manasseh led them astray. They did more evil things than the nations the Lord had destroyed. He had destroyed them to make room for the Israelites.

But they did not listen, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations had done whom the Lord destroyed before the people of Israel.

But they did not listen; Manasseh caused them to stray so that they did worse evil than the nations the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.

But they did not listen, and Manasseh encouraged them to do evil, more than the nations whom the Lord eliminated from the presence of the sons of Israel.

But they paid no attention, and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.

But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel.

But they did not listen; Manasseh caused them to stray so that they did greater evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.

But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

But they did not obey, and Manasseh misled them so that they sinned more than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed from before the Israelites.

But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.

If a ruler pays attention to liars, all his advisers will be wicked.

But Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem to do even more evil than the pagan nations that the Lord had destroyed when the people of Israel entered the land.

He will abandon Israel because Jeroboam sinned and made Israel sin along with him.”

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.

“ And now, O our God, what can we say after all of this? For once again we have abandoned your commands!Your servants the prophets warned us when they said,‘ The land you are entering to possess is totally defiled by the detestable practices of the people living there. From one end to the other, the land is filled with corruption.

“ But despite all this, they were disobedient and rebelled against you. They turned their backs on your Law, they killed your prophets who warned them to return to you, and they committed terrible blasphemies.

“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.

even though the wicked strut about, and evil is praised throughout the land.

But you have not merely sinned as they did. You quickly surpassed them in corruption.

“ But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman— that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet— to lead my servants astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols.

But the people mocked these messengers of God and despised their words. They scoffed at the prophets until the Lord’s anger could no longer be restrained and nothing could be done.

“ You warned them to return to your Law, but they became proud and obstinate and disobeyed your commands. They did not follow your regulations, by which people will find life if only they obey. They stubbornly turned their backs on you and refused to listen.In your love, you were patient with them for many years. You sent your Spirit, who warned them through the prophets. But still they wouldn’t listen! So once again you allowed the peoples of the land to conquer them.

They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.

“ Even Samaria did not commit half your sins. You have done far more detestable things than your sisters ever did. They seem righteous compared to you.Shame on you! Your sins are so terrible that you make your sisters seem righteous, even virtuous.

We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets, who spoke on your authority to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land.

We have not obeyed the Lord our God, for we have not followed the instructions he gave us through his servants the prophets.All Israel has disobeyed your instruction and turned away, refusing to listen to your voice.“ So now the solemn curses and judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured down on us because of our sin.

For it was I, the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.

The people of Israel will be crushed and broken by my judgment because they are determined to worship idols.
