‏ Jeremiah 23:20

20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back
until he has fully carried out his intended purposes. ^{▼▼tn Heb “until he has acted and until he has carried out the purposes of his heart.”}
In future days ^{▼▼sn Sometimes the phrase “in future days” may have a remote, even eschatological, reference. At other times it has more immediate reference as it does here and in the nearly identical 30:24, where it refers to the coming days of Babylonian conquest and exile. See also the note at Gen 49:1.}
you people will come to understand this clearly. ^{▼▼tn The translation is intended to reflect a Hebrew construction where a noun functions as the object of a verb from the same root word (the Hebrew cognate accusative).}
