Jeremiah 36:7

It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord ,.... Or, "perhaps their supplication will fall" F15 אולי תפל תחנ־תאם "forte, vel fortasse cadet deprecatio eorum", Piscator, Schmidt. So Pagninus, Montanus, &c.; ; they will present it in an humble manner before him; alluding to the prostration of their bodies, and dejection of their countenances, in prayer:

and will return every man from his evil way ; not only pray for mercy, but repent of sin, and reform; without which mercy is not to be expected:

for great is the anger and fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people ; a very sore judgment, no less than the utter destruction of their city, temple, and nation.
