לָכֵן כֹּֽה־אָמַר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנְנִי מֵבִיא רָעָה עַל־יְרֽוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וִֽיהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר כׇּל־[שֹׁמְעָהּ] (שמעיו) תִּצַּלְנָה שְׁתֵּי אׇזְנָֽיו׃
therefore thus says the Lord God of Yisra᾽el, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Yerushalayim and Yehuda that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.

וְנָטִיתִי עַל־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֵת קָו שֹׁמְרוֹן וְאֶת־מִשְׁקֹלֶת בֵּית אַחְאָב וּמָחִיתִי אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם כַּאֲשֶׁר־יִמְחֶה אֶת־הַצַּלַּחַת מָחָה וְהָפַךְ עַל־פָּנֶֽיהָ׃
And I will stretch over Yerushalayim the measuring line of Shomeron, and the plummet of the house of Aĥ᾽av: and I will wipe Yerushalayim as a man wipes a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

Rashi
משקולת. הוא חוט שהבונים חומה קושרין בו עופרת לכוין בו את החומה:
And the plumb line. That is the string to which the builders of a wall tie a lead weight to make the wall straight.2I.e., so that the following rows of bricks or stones will all be directly above one another.
ימחה את הצלחת. יקנח את הקערה:
As one wipes a dish. As one wipes a dish.3Just as one wipes a dish and turns it over so that it should not become soiled or be eaten from any more, so will Yerusholayim be cleaned out of its habitants and then it will destroyed so that it would no longer be habitable.—Radak
וְנָטַשְׁתִּי אֵת שְׁאֵרִית נַחֲלָתִי וּנְתַתִּים בְּיַד אֹיְבֵיהֶם וְהָיוּ לְבַז וְלִמְשִׁסָּה לְכׇל־אֹיְבֵיהֶֽם׃
And I will abandon the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

יַעַן אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֶת־הָרַע בְּעֵינַי וַיִּהְיוּ מַכְעִסִים אֹתִי מִן־הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ אֲבוֹתָם מִמִּצְרַיִם וְעַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Miżrayim, and to this day.

וְגַם דָּם נָקִי שָׁפַךְ מְנַשֶּׁה הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד עַד אֲשֶׁר־מִלֵּא אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם פֶּה לָפֶה לְבַד מֵֽחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יְהוּדָה לַעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃
Moreover Menashshe shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Yerushalayim from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Yehuda to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.

וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי מְנַשֶּׁה וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וְחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר חָטָא הֲלֹא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָֽה׃
Now the rest of the acts of Menashshe and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehuda?

וַיִּשְׁכַּב מְנַשֶּׁה עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּגַן־בֵּיתוֹ בְּגַן־עֻזָּא וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָמוֹן בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ {פ}
And Menashshe slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of ῾Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
