‏ Jeremiah 23:24

24 “Do you really think anyone can hide himself
where I cannot see him?” the Lord asks. ^{▼▼tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”}
“Do you not know that I am everywhere?” ^{▼▼tn The words “Do you not know” are not in the text. They are a way of conveying the idea that the question, which reads literally, “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” expects a positive answer. They follow the pattern used at the beginning of the previous two questions and continue that thought. The words are supplied in the translation for clarity.}
