2 Kings 21:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Kings 21.
12 this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah that the news will reverberate in the ears of all who hear it.
13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes out a bowl—wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 So I will forsake the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will become plunder and spoil to all their enemies,
15 because they have done evil in My sight and have provoked Me to anger from the day their fathers came out of Egypt until this day.’”

20 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
