Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 36:7-8
Jeremiah 36:7-8. It may be they will present their supplications Hebrew, תפל תחנתם לפני יהוה , peradventure they may prostrate themselves in supplication before Jehovah; or, more literally, their supplication may fall before Jehovah, which, undoubtedly, says Blaney, “respects the humble posture of the supplicant in presenting it:” see note on Jeremiah 36:3.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32
Jehoiakim burn’s Jeremiah’s scroll (36:1-32)God commanded Jeremiah to write down all the prophecies he had given during the previous twenty years and announce them again to Judah. Perhaps even yet the nation would repent and so escape God’s judgment (36:1-3).Over the next year Jeremiah wrote down the messages, using Baruch as his scribe. Since Jeremiah was forbidden to enter the temple (see 20:1-2; 26:7-9), he arranged for Baruch to go on his behalf and read the scroll to the people (4-7).... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 36:7
They will present their supplication; literally, their supplication will fall . The phrase seems to be suggested by the gesture of a suppliant. Hence humility is one idea; but success is entirely another. That which lights down before one's eyes cannot be disregarded.
