Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:
29 “If you won’t hear my voice, surely this very great multitude will be turned into a small number among the nations where I will scatter them.
30 For I know that they will not hear me, because they are a stiff-necked people; but in the land of their captivity they will take it to heart,
31 and will know that I am the Lord their God. I will give them a heart and ears to hear.
32 Then they will praise me in the land of their captivity, and think about my name,
33 and will return from their stiff neck and from their wicked deeds; for they will remember the way of their fathers who sinned before the Lord.
