Context of Jeremiah 23:19

17They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘Adonai has said, you will have shalom.’ To everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say: ‘No evil will come on you.’” 18For who has stood in the council of Adonai, that he should see and hear His word? Who has heard to His word and obeyed? Look, a storm of Adonai goes out in fury, yes, a whirling tempest will swirl down on the head of the wicked. 20The anger of Adonai will not turn until He has executed and fulfilled the purposes of His heart. In the last days you will discern it clearly. 21“I did not send those prophets, yet they ran. I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.
