“When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;”
When you are in tribulation, and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn back to the LORD your God, and obey his voice; -- 'the latter days' (future time) and 'tribulation' (exile) frame the scenario. Turning back (shuv, repentance) and obedience restore relationship. The formula emphasizes that restoration depends on the people's return, not God's withdrawal.
