# each man will turn from his wicked ways

Yahweh speaks of a person's lifestyle as if it were a "way" or path along which the person walks. Alternate translation: "each man will stop his wicked way of living" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# so I will relent concerning the disaster

"so I will change my mind and I will not send the disaster." God will not send the disaster if the people listen to him and turn from their wicked ways.

# the wickedness of their practices

"the wicked way that they live" or "the wicked things that they do." See how similar words are translated in [Jeremiah 4:4](../04/04.md).
