If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 26 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah again announces in the temple that repentance can prevent disaster. The priests and prophets want to kill him because of his words, but some remember that Micah also announced judgment during the days of Hezekiah. The episode shows that the prophetic word should be evaluated by its faithfulness, not silenced through violence.

ob sie vielleicht hören wollen und sich bekehren, ein jeglicher von seinem bösen Wesen, damit mich auch reuen möchte das Übel, das ich gedenke ihnen zu tun um ihres bösen Wandels willen.
Quizá oirán, y se tornarán cada uno de su mal camino; y arrepentireme yo del mal que pienso hacerles por la maldad de sus obras.
Quizá escuchen y se vuelva cada uno de su mal camino; entonces desistiré de la calamidad que pienso traer sobre ellos por la maldad de sus acciones.
Peut-être écouteront-ils, et reviendront-ils chacun de leur mauvaise voie; alors je me repentirai du mal que j'avais pensé leur faire à cause de la méchanceté de leurs actions.
Forse ubbidiranno, e si convertiranno ciascuno dalla sua via malvagia; ed io altresì mi pentirò del male, che penso di far loro per la malvagità de’ lor fatti.
Bem pode ser que ouçam, e se convertam cada um do seu mau caminho, e eu me arrependa do mal que intento fazer-lhes por causa da maldade das suas ações.
或者他們肯聽從,各人回轉離開惡道,我就改變心意,不將我因他們所行的惡、想要施行的災禍降與他們。
