“Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.”
Jeremiah's appeal to amend their ways and deeds and to listen to the voice of the LORD shows that even facing execution, the prophet calls to repentance. The emphasis on amendment suggests that even now, judgment can be avoided through genuine change. The appeal to listen to God's voice represents the fundamental issue: the people must choose between human opposition and divine truth. The verse shows the prophet's primary concern remains the people's reformation.
