Jeremias 23:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:20

The anger of the Lord shall not return
Having a commission from him, and being sent forth on an errand to do business for him, it shall not return to him, without having done it; as a servant sent by his master does not return till he has finished what he was sent about: until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his
heart;
all his counsels, purposes, and designs, respecting those his anger kindled against, the false prophets and wicked Jews: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly;
when too late to avert it by repentance and reformation when all this shall be fulfilled, and the seventy years captivity take place; or, "in the end of days" ^F4; in the latter part off time, when the Jews shall be converted, and seek the Lord their God, ( Hosea 3:5 ) ; then "shall [they] understand it with an understanding" ^F5, as it may be rendered; when they shall have the veil removed from them, and turn to the Lord; then they shall have a true and thorough understanding of these things; of the cause and reason of them; and of the mind of God in them, and the ends to be answered by them. Kimchi says this will be in the times of the Messiah.

Jeremias 23:20 In-Context

18 Pois quem dentre eles esteve no concílio do Senhor, para que percebesse e ouvisse a sua palavra, ou quem esteve atento e escutou a sua palavra?

19 Eis a tempestade do Senhor! A sua indignação, qual tempestade devastadora, já saiu; descarregar-se-á sobre a cabeça dos impios

20 Não retrocederá a ira do Senhor, até que ele tenha executado e cumprido os seus desígnios. Nos últimos dias entendereis isso claramente.

21 Não mandei esses profetas, contudo eles foram correndo; não lhes falei a eles, todavia eles profetizaram

22 Mas se tivessem assistido ao meu concílio, então teriam feito o meu povo ouvir as minhas palavras, e o teriam desviado do seu mau caminho, e da maldade das suas ações.
