Jeremiah 36:7

Ver. 7. It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord,.... Or, "perhaps their supplication will fall" {o}; 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.

{o} Mtnxt lpt ylwa "forte, [vel] fortasse cadet deprecatio eorum", Piscator, Schmidt. So Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
