Jeremiah 23:20-22
Contemporary English Version
20 I won't calm down,
until I have finished
what I have decided to do.
Someday you will understand
exactly what I mean.
21 I did not send these prophets
or speak to them,
but they ran to find you
and to preach their message.
22 If they had been in a meeting
of my council in heaven,
they would have told
you people of Judah
to give up your sins
and come back to me.
Jeremiah 23:20-22
New International Version
20 The anger(A) of the Lord will not turn back(B)
until he fully accomplishes
the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
you will understand it clearly.
21 I did not send(C) these prophets,
yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my council,(D)
they would have proclaimed(E) my words to my people
and would have turned(F) them from their evil ways
and from their evil deeds.(G)
