It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.
Maybe they will bring their prayers and requests to the LORD, and each person will turn away from their wrong actions. The LORD has declared great anger and rage against this nation.
The writer is hoping that when people hear God's message, they will pray for forgiveness and change their ways before God's judgment falls on them.
