וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה כְּתֽוֹעֲבוֹת הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר הוֹרִישׁ יְהֹוָה מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
but he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like the abominations of the nations, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Yisra᾽el.

וַיָּשׇׁב וַיִּבֶן אֶת־הַבָּמוֹת אֲשֶׁר נִתַּץ יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ אָבִיו וַיָּקֶם מִזְבְּחוֹת לַבְּעָלִים וַיַּעַשׂ אֲשֵׁרוֹת וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לְכׇל־צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם וַֽיַּעֲבֹד אֹתָֽם׃
For he built again the high places which Yeĥizqiyyahu his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for the Be῾alim, and made asherot, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

וּבָנָה מִזְבְּחוֹת בְּבֵית יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהֹוָה בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם יִֽהְיֶה־שְּׁמִי לְעוֹלָֽם׃

וַיִּבֶן מִזְבְּחוֹת לְכׇל־צְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם בִּשְׁתֵּי חַצְרוֹת בֵּית־יְהֹוָֽה׃
And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

וְהוּא הֶעֱבִיר אֶת־בָּנָיו בָּאֵשׁ בְּגֵי בֶן־הִנֹּם וְעוֹנֵן וְנִחֵשׁ וְֽכִשֵּׁף וְעָשָׂה אוֹב וְיִדְּעוֹנִי הִרְבָּה לַעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה לְהַכְעִיסֽוֹ׃
And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he practised divination, and sorcery, and witchcraft, and dealt with mediums, and with wizards: he did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

ועשה אוב וידעוני. מלא בוי"ו לפי שהרבה לעשות והוא הוסיף על פסל הסמל אשר עשה:
and those who divine by the jidoa bone - Heb. יִדְּעוֹנִי spelled in full with a “vav,” because he did much [evil], and he added to the graven image of the idol that he made. They would take the bone of an animal known as jidoa, and place it in their mouths, whence it would speak.
וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־פֶּסֶל הַסֶּמֶל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּבֵית הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־דָּוִיד וְאֶל־שְׁלֹמֹה בְנוֹ בַּבַּיִת הַזֶּה וּבִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתִּי מִכֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָשִׂים אֶת־שְׁמִי לְעֵילֽוֹם׃
And he set up a curved idol, the image which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Shelomo his son, In this house, and in Yerushalayim, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Yisra᾽el, will I put my name for ever:

לעילום. לעולם:
forever - Heb. לְעֵילוֹם, [a variant of] לְעוֹלָם.
וְלֹא אֹסִיף לְהָסִיר אֶת־רֶגֶל יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעַל הָֽאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱמַדְתִּי לַאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם רַק ׀ אִם־יִשְׁמְרוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת אֵת כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִים לְכׇל־הַתּוֹרָה וְהַחֻקִּים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים בְּיַד־מֹשֶֽׁה׃
nor will I remove the foot of Yisra᾽el again from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; if only they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole Tora and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moshe.

Rashi
ולא אוסיף להסיר את רגל ישראל. מוסב על פסוק של מעלה והכל קובלנא הוא כלומר הקב"ה אומר כך אמרתי אל דוד ואל שלמה בבית הזה אשים שמי שם לעולם וגם הבטחתים לא אוסיף להסיר רגל ישראל מעל האדמה רק אם ישמרו וגו' ועתה ויתע מנשה וגו' נמצא שעל ידו נסתלקה שכינה וגם אנו עדיין בגלות על ידו:
And I will not continue to remove Israel’s feet This refers back to the above verse, and all is a complaint; i.e., the Holy One, blessed be He, said, “So I said to David and to Solomon, ‘In this House I will place My name forever,’ and I also promised him, ‘And I will not continue to remove Israel’s feet from the land, if they will but observe, etc.’” But now And Manasseh led astray, etc. Because of him the Shechinah departed, and we are also still in exile because of him.
וַיֶּתַע מְנַשֶּׁה אֶת־יְהוּדָה וְיֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם לַעֲשׂוֹת רָע מִן־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁמִיד יְהֹוָה מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {פ}
So Menashshe made Yehuda and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim to go astray, and to do worse than the nations, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Yisra᾽el.

בירושלים יהיה שמי לעולם. הפסוק קובל זה מנשה שבנה מזבחו' לעכומ"ז בבית שאמר הקב"ה אני רוצה שישכון שמי שם וגם פסוק שאמר בסמוך לשון קובלנא הוא, וישם את פסל הסמל אשר עשה בבית האלהים וגו'. וגם הפסוק ולא אוסיף להסיר את רגל:
“In Jerusalem, My name shall be forever” Scripture decries Manasseh, who built altars to pagan deities in the very House concerning which the Holy One, blessed be He, said, “I wish My name to rest there.” The verse stated after this (verse 7) is also an expression of decrying: “And he placed the graven image of the idol that he made in the House of God, concerning which, etc.” And also the verse (8): “And I will not continue to remove Israel’s feet, etc.”
