Jeremiah 23:19
Compare all
17 They continually say to those who despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, a“You shall have peace” ’;
And to everyone who bwalks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say,
c‘No evil shall come upon you.’ ” 
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 “Ia 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.

What Does Jeremiah 23:19 Mean?



Jeremiah 23:19

He is talking about a tornado that He has sent—a violent windstorm. The false prophets have said, "No bad is coming" (verse 17). God says, "Do they ever listen to Me? I've said, 'I'm sending a whirlwind, and it's going to fall on the heads of the wicked.' How dare they say that everything is going to be okay!"
