“However, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him. And the LORD said, “I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple (house) of which I said, ‘My name shall be there’.” “Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine) 2 Kings 23: 26 & 27 and 24: 3 & 4.

Psalms 106:35-43 “But they mingled with the nations, And learned their practices (works), And served their idols, Which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons, And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with the blood. Thus they became unclean in their practices (works), And played the harlot in their deeds. Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against His people, And He abhorred His inheritance (people). Then He gave them into the hand of the nations (gentiles); And those who hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their power (hand). Many times He would deliver them; They, however, were rebellious in their counsel, And so sank down in their iniquity.”
