And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 24 of 2 Kings. Jehoiakim initially submits to Nebuchadnezzar and later rebels. As a result, Judah begins suffering raids from various peoples. The narrator interprets these calamities in light of the Lord’s word against Judah, especially because of the accumulated sins during Manasseh’s reign. Political history thus becomes the visible setting of a judgment already announced theologically. The chapter indicates that despite long divine patience, a point arrives when the accumulated consequences of sin produce an irreversible crisis.

auch um des unschuldigen Blutes willen, das er vergoß und machte Jerusalem voll mit unschuldigem Blut, wollte der HERR nicht vergeben.
Asimismo por la sangre inocente que derramó, pues hinchió a Jerusalem de sangre inocente: Jehová por tanto, no quiso perdonar.
y también por la sangre inocente que había derramado, pues había llenado Jerusalén de sangre inocente. Jehová no quiso perdonar.
et à cause du sang innocent qu'avait répandu Manassé et dont il avait rempli Jérusalem. Aussi l'Eternel ne voulut-il point pardonner.
ed anche per lo sangue innocente ch’egli avea sparso, avendo empiuta Gerusalemme di sangue innocente; laonde il Signore non volle dare alcun perdono.
Como também por causa do sangue inocente que derramou; pois encheu a Jerusalém de sangue inocente; e por isso o SENHOR não quis perdoar.
又因他流無辜人的血,使無辜人的血充滿 耶路撒冷 ;耶和華不願赦免。
