Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Woe to the city of bloodshed, the pot that has rust inside it, and whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; lots should not be cast for its contents.For the blood she shed is still within her. She put it out on the bare rock; she didn’t pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I Myself will make the pile of kindling large.

2 Kings 21 2-2 Kings 21 9
He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, imitating the detestable practices of the nations that the Lord had dispossessed before the Israelites.He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed and reestablished the altars for Baal. He made an Asherah, as King Ahab of Israel had done; he also worshiped the whole heavenly host and served them.He built altars in the Lord’s temple, where the Lord had said,“ Jerusalem is where I will put My name.”He built altars to the whole heavenly host in both courtyards of the Lord’s temple.He made his son pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did a great amount of evil in the Lord’s sight, provoking Him.Manasseh set up the carved image of Asherah, which he made, in the temple that the Lord had spoken about to David and his son Solomon,“ I will establish My name forever in this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to wander from the land I gave to their ancestors if only they will be careful to do all I have commanded them— the whole law that My servant Moses commanded them.”But they did not listen; Manasseh caused them to stray so that they did greater evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.

Ezekiel 7:2-12
“ Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.The end is now upon you; I will send My anger against you and judge you according to your ways. I will punish you for all your detestable practices.I will not look on you with pity or spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for your detestable practices within you. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”This is what the Lord God says: Look, one disaster after another is coming!An end has come; the end has come! It has awakened against you. Look, it is coming!Doom has come on you, inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near. There will be panic on the mountains and not celebration.I will pour out My wrath on you very soon; I will exhaust My anger against you and judge you according to your ways. I will punish you for all your detestable practices.I will not look on you with pity or spare you. I will punish you for your ways and for your detestable practices within you. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who strikes.Look, the day is coming! Doom has gone out. The rod has blossomed; arrogance has bloomed.Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them will remain: none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and none of the eminent among them.The time has come; the day has arrived. Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, for wrath is on all her masses.
