Context — Manasseh’s Repentance and Restoration
8I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to leave the land that I assigned to your fathers, if only they are careful to do all that I have commanded them through Moses—all the laws, statutes, and judgments.”
9So Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
10And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen.
11So the LORD brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon. 12And in his distress, Manasseh sought the favor of the LORD his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his fathers.Cross References

2 Chronicles 33:10 Summary
[This verse shows that God wants to talk to people and guide them, but sometimes they don't listen, like Manasseh and his people. God is patient and wants what's best for us, as we see in Jeremiah 29:11. He speaks to us through His Word, and it's up to us to listen and obey. By listening to God's message, we can avoid the consequences of disobedience and experience His blessings, as promised in Deuteronomy 28:1-2.]
