14 I will abandon this last remaining tribe among my people[a] and hand them over to their enemies; they will be plundered and robbed by all their enemies,[b] 15 because they have done evil in my sight[c] and have angered me from the time their ancestors left Egypt right up to this very day!’”
16 Furthermore Manasseh killed so many innocent people, he stained Jerusalem with their blood from end to end,[d] in addition to encouraging Judah to sin by doing evil in the sight of the Lord.[e]

New International Version
14 I will forsake(A) the remnant(B) of my inheritance and give them into the hands of enemies. They will be looted and plundered by all their enemies; 15 they have done evil(C) in my eyes and have aroused(D) my anger from the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day.”
