“If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.”
The statement that God will tell them of the statutes and ordinances to be obeyed and warn them of the consequences of walking after other gods provides the content Jeremiah is to speak. The comprehensive nature of the message—both what to do and what the consequences are—shows the full scope of prophecy. The verse establishes that Jeremiah is not merely announcing doom but calling to reformation. The clarity of the message leaves no excuse for misunderstanding.
