Jeremiah 26:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:13

Therefore now amend your ways and your doings
Make them good; leave your evil ways, and walk in good ways; forsake your evil works, and do good works: and obey the voice of the Lord your God;
and that because he is your God, as well as what his word directs to is good, and for your good: and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced
against you;
will do as men do when they repent, change their method of acting, and manner of behaviour; so the Lord is said to repent or turn, when he changes the method and conduct of his providence towards men, though he never changes his mind or counsel.
