14 At this Jehovah’s anger blazed against Israel,+ so that he gave them into the hands of the pillagers, and they began to pillage them;+ and he proceeded to sell* them into the hand of their enemies round about,+ and they were no longer able to stand before their enemies.+

11 Finally Jehovah brought against them+ the chiefs of the army that belonged to the king of As·syrʹi·a,+ and so they captured Ma·nasʹseh in the hollows+ and bound+ him with two fetters of copper and took him to Babylon.

17 So he brought up against them the king of the Chal·deʹans,+ who proceeded to kill their young men with the sword+ in the house of their sanctuary,+ neither did he feel compassion for young man or virgin, old or decrepit.+ Everything He gave into his hand.
