Jeremiah 23:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 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 [a]shall understand it plainly.
21 (A)I have not sent these prophets, saith the Lord, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, and yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and [b]had declared my words to my people, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the wickedness of their inventions.

they would have proclaimed(E) my words to my people
and would have turned(F) them from their evil ways
