Deuteronomy 29:21,22

And the Lord shall separate him unto evil... so that the generation to come... shall say... of that land. — It is not a little remarkable that the sin of one man is here represented as growing and spreading devastation over the whole land of Israel — the very thing which the man apparently regards as impossible in his inward reasonings, described in Deuteronomy 29:19. Yet is not this the true anticipation of what actually occurred? Comp. 1 Kings 14:15 : “The Lord shall root up Israel out of this good land, which He gave to their fathers... and He shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin” And what Jeroboam was to Israel, Manasseh was to Judah (Jeremiah 15:4): “I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.”
