36:3 Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the disaster I intend to bring on them, they will all stop doing the evil things they have been doing. 1 If they do, I will forgive their sins and the wicked things they have done.” 2
Jeremiah 36:7
36:7 Perhaps then they will ask the Lord for mercy and will all stop doing the evil things they have been doing. 3 For the Lord has threatened to bring great anger and wrath against these people.” 4
1 tnHeb “will turn each one from his wicked way.”
2 tnHeb “their iniquity and their sin.”
3 tnHeb “will turn each one from his wicked way.”
4 tnHeb “For great is the anger and the wrath which the Lord has spoken against this people.” The translation uses the more active form which is more in keeping with contemporary English style.
