Contextual Overview
1 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah. 2 "Get a scroll. Write on it everything I have told you to say about Israel, Judah, and all the other nations since I began to speak to you in the reign of Josiah until now. 3 Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the disaster I intend to bring on them, they will all stop doing the evil things they have been doing. If they do, I will forgive their sins and the wicked things they have done." 4 So Jeremiah summoned Baruch son of Neriah. Then Jeremiah dictated to Baruch everything the Lord had told him to say and Baruch wrote it all down in a scroll. 5 Then Jeremiah told Baruch, "I am no longer allowed to go into the Lord 's temple. 6 So you go there the next time all the people of Judah come in from their towns to fast in the Lord 's temple. Read out loud where all of them can hear you what I told you the Lord said, which you wrote in the scroll. 7 Perhaps then they will ask the Lord for mercy and will all stop doing the evil things they have been doing. For the Lord has threatened to bring great anger and wrath against these people." 8 So Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what the prophet Jeremiah had told him to do. He read what the Lord had said from the scroll in the temple of the Lord .

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.
o אולי תפל תחנתם "forte, [vel] fortasse cadet deprecatio eorum", Piscator, Schmidt. So Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They will present their supplication - i. e., humbly. See the margin. The phrase also contained the idea of the prayer being accepted.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
