2 Kings 21:15-17
New English Translation
15 because they have done evil in my sight[a] 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,[b] in addition to encouraging Judah to sin by doing evil in the sight of the Lord.[c]
17 The rest of the events of Manasseh’s reign and all his accomplishments, as well as the sinful acts he committed, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah.[d]

15 they have done evil(A) in my eyes and have aroused(B) my anger from the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day.”
