Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect ve-yashmiʿu {וְיַשְׁמִעוּ | wə-yaš-mi-ʿû} marks the intended proclamation, with devarai et-ammi {דְבָרַי אֶת־עַמִּי | də-ḇā-rai ʾet-ʿam-mî} presenting “my words” to “my people” in object–subject order characteristic of Hebrew emphasis.
In context — Jeremiah 23:22
But if they had stood within my council and had urged my people to heed my words, then they would have drawn them away from their evil course and from the wickedness of their deeds.
