God was saying, "I'm going to judge your nation so harshly, you'll think your world has been turned upside down. Even your enemies won't believe what they hear I've done to you." Even though Manasseh eventually repented, God would not call off the judgments. He would only delay them for a season.
Sinasabi ng Dios, "aking parurusahan ang inyong bansa ng matindi, na iisipin ninyong ang mundo ninyo ay parang tumataob na. Kahit na ang inyong mga kaaway ay hindi maniniwala sa maririnig nila sa ginawa ko sa inyo." Kahit na si manases ay nagsisi pa, pagkatapos noon, hindi na pinawi ng Dios ang kanyang pagpaparusa.
