Jeremiah 23:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ My anger will not turn back.
    I will accomplish everything
    I plan to do.
In days to come
    you will understand it clearly.
²¹ I did not send these prophets.
    But they have run to tell you their message anyway.
I did not speak to them.
    But they have still prophesied.
²² Suppose they had stood in my courts.
    Then they would have announced my message to my people.
They would have turned my people from their evil ways.
    They would have turned them away from their sins.
