John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 36:7

"It may be they will present their supplication before Jehovah, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Jehovah hath pronounced against this people." — Jeremiah 36:7 (ASV)

It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord ,
&c.] Or, "perhaps their supplication will fall" ^F15 ; 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 has pronounced against
this people ;
a very sore judgment, no less than the utter destruction of their city, temple, and nation.
