Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The answer of Jeremiah is simple and straightforward. Yahweh, he affirmed, had truly sent him, but the sole object of his prophesying had been to avert the evil by leading them to repentance. If they would amend their ways God would deliver them from the threatened doom. As for himself he was in their hands, but if they put him to death they would bring the guilt of shedding innocent blood upon themselves and upon the city.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 26:13. Therefore now amend your ways — If ye wish to escape the judgment which I have predicted, turn to God, and iniquity shall not be your ruin.
