Transcription: An unabashed tyrant, Manasseh filled the streets of Jerusalem with blood. It was he who, according to tradition, had Isaiah sawn in two. He made child sacrifice common practice, built astrology altars in God's temple, and encouraged male prostitution as part of religious ritual. By the time he died, very few reminders of the covenant with God remained in Judah. Public shrines abounded, and storefronts in Jerusalem were advertising household gods, mediums, and spiritists. God's chosen people had out-paganized the pagans.
