Jeremiah 23:17-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

17. They keep on saying to those who despise Me, ‘ The Lord has said: You will have peace.’ They have said to everyone who follows the stubbornness of his heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’ ”

18. For who has stood in the council of the Lordto see and hear His word?Who has paid attention to His word and obeyed?

19. Look, a storm from the Lord! Wrath has gone out,a whirling storm.It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.

20. The Lord’s anger will not turn back until He has completely fulfilled the purposes of His heart.In time to come you will understand it clearly.

21. I did not send these prophets, yet they ran with a message.I did not speak to them,yet they prophesied.
