God reaches out to Manasseh and his people, offering a clear warning about their actions. There is a general consensus among commentators that this divine communication is not a direct, personal revelation. Instead, God sends His prophets to deliver a strong message of rebuke to the nation.
Despite this direct appeal, Manasseh and the people choose to ignore the warnings. Their failure to listen is not a mere oversight, but an active rejection. They completely refuse to hear or accept the message brought before them.
