16 Phezu kokubangela ukuthi abakoJuda bone ngokwenza okubi phambi kukaJehova, uManase wabulala abantu abanengi kakhulu abangelacala, wagcwalisa yonke iJerusalema+ ngegazi labo.

15 UJehova uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo wayelokhu ebaxwayisa esebenzisa izithunywa zakhe. Wabaxwayisa ephindaphinda ngoba wayezwela abantu bakhe lendawo yakhe yokuhlala. 16 Kodwa babezihleka izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu weqiniso,+ beseyisa amazwi azo+ njalo bechothoza labaphrofethi bakhe.+ Ulaka lukaJehova lwacina lusehlela phezu kwabantu bakhe+ baze basala bengasancediseki.
