Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Turn around when I correct you: look, I will pour out my spirit on you, and I will make my words known to you.
God is saying that when He corrects us and we respond by turning toward Him, He will generously share His spirit and wisdom with us.
