耶和華曾指著祂的殿說：「我的名必永遠在耶路撒冷。」他卻在耶和華的殿內建造異教的祭壇。他在耶和華殿的兩個院子裡建造祭拜天上萬象的祭壇。他還在欣嫩子谷把自己的兒子燒死，獻作祭物。他行巫術、占卜、觀兆，求問靈媒和巫師。他做了許多耶和華視為惡的事，惹耶和華發怒。他雕刻偶像，放在上帝的殿中。關於這殿，上帝曾經對大衛和他兒子所羅門說：「我從以色列眾支派中選擇了這殿和耶路撒冷，我的名要在這裡永遠受尊崇。只要以色列人謹遵我藉著摩西頒給他們的一切法度、律例和典章，我就不再把他們從我賜給他們祖先的土地上趕走。」瑪拿西誘使猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民作惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所毀滅的各族更嚴重。耶和華警告瑪拿西和他的百姓，他們卻不肯聽從。

約哈斯像他祖先一樣做耶和華視為惡的事。

耶和華說：「約西亞的兒子猶大王約雅敬啊，你有禍了！你以不公不義的手段建造宮廷殿宇，不給工人發工錢。你說要為自己建造宏偉的宮殿、寬敞的房間。你安上窗戶，鑲上香柏木，塗上紅漆。難道你大肆使用香柏木就能顯出你做王的氣派嗎？你父親也吃也喝，但他秉公行義，所以他凡事順利；他為困苦和貧窮的人伸冤，所以他凡事順利。這才是真正認識我。這是耶和華說的。可是，你一心貪圖不義之財，濫殺無辜，橫徵暴斂。」

當時，基列·耶琳人示瑪雅的兒子烏利亞也奉耶和華的名預言這城和這地方將被毀，內容與耶利米說的一樣。約雅敬王和他的王公大臣聽見烏利亞的話，就想處死他。烏利亞得知後，嚇得逃到埃及去了。約雅敬王便派亞革波的兒子以利拿單率隨從去埃及捉拿他。他們把烏利亞從埃及押到約雅敬王面前，王用刀殺了他，把屍首拋在平民的墳地中。

亞們效法他父親瑪拿西，做耶和華視為惡的事。他祭拜和供奉他父親瑪拿西製造的一切偶像。可是，亞們沒有像他父親瑪拿西一樣在耶和華面前謙卑下來。相反，他犯的罪日益增加。

母獅盼著牠回來，眼見指望落空，便又養育一頭幼獅，使牠成為雄壯的獅子。牠出入獅群，學會了捕食和吃人。牠夷平列國的堡壘，使他們的城邑淪為廢墟，遍地都因牠的咆哮而震驚。於是，列國便從四面圍攻牠，設網羅捕捉牠。牠落入他們的陷阱。他們用鉤子鉤住牠，關進籠裡，解送到巴比倫王那裡囚禁起來。於是，在以色列的山嶺上再也聽不見他的吼聲。

王和臣僕聽了這些話，既不懼怕，也沒有撕裂衣服。猶底每讀三四段，王就用書記的小刀把那幾段割下來扔進火盆裡，直到全卷被燒毀。

亞哈斯在患難時越發悖逆耶和華，竟去祭拜打敗他的大馬士革人的神明，說：「既然亞蘭王的神明幫助了亞蘭人，我要向這些神明獻祭，以便它們幫助我。」但那些神明導致了他和全體以色列人的滅亡。亞哈斯將耶和華上帝殿裡的器皿收集起來打碎，封鎖殿門，並在耶路撒冷的每個角落為自己設立祭壇。他還在猶大各城建立邱壇，向其他神明燒香，惹他祖先的上帝耶和華發怒。

我要因你、你後裔和你臣僕的罪惡而懲罰你們。因為你們不聽我的警告，我要給你們以及耶路撒冷和猶大的居民降下我說過的災禍。』」
