Exegesis
The consecutive Hiphil veyashivum {וִישִׁיב֙וּם | wî-ya-šî-vum} introduces the result clause, paralleled by the prepositional phrases midarkam hara {מִדַּרְכָּ֣ם הָרָע | mi-dar-kām hā-rā} “from their evil course” and umero maalleihem {וּמֵרֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶֽם | û-mê-rō-aʿ ma-ʿal-lê-hem} “and from the wickedness of their deeds,” highlighting the causal link between divine instruction and moral reorientation.
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.
