Jeremiah 23:19–22

See, the storm of the Lord

will burst out in wrath,

a whirlwind swirling down

on the heads of the wicked.

The anger of the Lord will not turn back

until he fully accomplishes

the purposes of his heart.

In days to come

you will understand it clearly.

I did not send these prophets,

yet they have run with their message;

I did not speak to them,

yet they have prophesied.

But if they had stood in my council,

they would have proclaimed my words to my people

and would have turned them from their evil ways

and from their evil deeds.

Look, a storm from the Lord!

Wrath has gone out,

a whirling storm.

It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.

The Lord’s anger will not turn away

until he has completely fulfilled the purposes of his heart.

In time to come you will understand it clearly.

I did not send out these prophets,

yet they ran.

I did not speak to them,

yet they prophesied.

If they had really stood in my council,

they would have enabled my people to hear my words

and would have turned them from their evil ways

and their evil deeds.

Look! The Lord’s anger bursts out like a storm,

a whirlwind that swirls down on the heads of the wicked.

The anger of the Lord will not diminish

until it has finished all he has planned.

In the days to come

you will understand all this very clearly.

“I have not sent these prophets,

yet they run around claiming to speak for me.

I have given them no message,

yet they go on prophesying.

If they had stood before me and listened to me,

they would have spoken my words,

and they would have turned my people

from their evil ways and deeds.

Look, the storm of Yahweh has gone forth in wrath,

even a whirling tempest.

It will whirl upon the head of the wicked.

The anger of Yahweh will not turn back

until his doing and until his keeping the plans of his mind.

In latter days you will look closely at it with understanding.

I have not sent the prophets, yet they ran.

I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

But if they had stood in my council,

then they would have proclaimed my words to my people,

and they would have caused them to turn from their evil way,

and from the evil of their deeds.

Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
