Jeremiah 23:20

Jeremiah 23:20

18 For ^awho has stood in the counsel of the Lord,
And has perceived and heard His word?
Who has marked His word and heard it?

19 Behold, a ^awhirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury—
A violent whirlwind!
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.

20 The ^aanger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart.
^bIn the latter days you will understand it perfectly.

21 “I^a have not sent these prophets, yet they ran.
I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in My counsel,
And had caused My people to hear My words,
Then they would have ^aturned them from their evil way
And from the evil of their doings.

23 “Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord,
“And not a God afar off?

24 Can anyone ^ahide himself in secret places,
So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;
^b“Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 23:19

Jeremiah 23:21 >>

The anger - The prophet speaks of the judgment as of a messenger, which should not return till it had done its errand, and executed what God had resolved it should effect. Ye shall consider - And though you will not now believe it, yet hereafter when it shall be too late, you shall consider it perfectly.
