2 Et fecit malum in oculis Domini, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Joakim,	2 And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 quoniam furor Domini erat in Jerusalem et in Juda, usquequo projiceret eos a facie sua : et recessit Sedecias a rege Babylonis.	3 And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away from the king of Babylon.
