Contextual Overview
1 In the fourth year of Y'hoyakim the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Y'hudah, this word came to Yirmeyahu from Adonai : 2 "Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you against Isra'el, Y'hudah and all the other nations, from the day I started speaking to you, back in the time of Yoshiyahu, until today. 3 Perhaps the house of Y'hudah will listen to all the disaster I intend to bring on them, and turn back, each person from his evil way; then I will forgive their wickedness and sin." 4 So Yirmeyahu summoned Barukh the son of Neriyah; and Barukh wrote down on a scroll, at Yirmeyahu's dictation, all the words that Adonai had said to him. 5 Then Yirmeyahu gave this order to Barukh: "I am not allowed to enter the house of Adonai . 6 Therefore, you take the scroll which you wrote at my dictation, go into the house of Adonai on a fast-day, and read from it the words of Adonai in the hearing of the people; also read them to all Y'hudah as they exit their cities. 7 Perhaps they will turn to Adonai in prayer and will return, each one, from his evil way. For the anger and fury which Adonai has decreed against this people is great." 8 Barukh the son of Neriyah obeyed everything Yirmeyahu the prophet ordered him to do, reading the words of Adonai from the scroll in Adonai 's house.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord,.... Or, "perhaps their supplication will fall" o; 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 hath pronounced against this people; a very sore judgment, no less than the utter destruction of their city, temple, and nation.
