Jer 36:3 | NETfull | STEP | 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. If they do, I will forgive their sins and the wicked things they have done.”

Jeremiah 36:3

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. ^{▼▼ Heb “will turn each one from his wicked way.”} If they do, I will forgive their sins and the wicked things they have done.” ^{▼▼ Heb “their iniquity and their sin.”} ^{▼▼ The offer of withdrawal of punishment for sin is consistent with the principles of Jer 18:7–8 and the temple sermon delivered early in the reign of this king (cf. 26:1–3; 7:5–7).}
