The LORD tried to warn Manasseh and the people about their sins, but they ignored the warning.
One day the LORD said to some of his prophets:
Everything else Manasseh did while he was king, including his prayer to the LORD God and the warnings from his prophets, is written in The History of the Kings of Israel.
But the people of Judah and Jerusalem listened to Manasseh and did even more sinful things than the nations the LORD had wiped out.
You completely ignored me and refused to listen;
you rejected my advice and paid no attention when I warned you.
Don't be stubborn like your ancestors. They were warned by the earlier prophets to give up their evil and turn back to me, but they paid no attention.
