Jeremiah 23:20

20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back
until he has fully carried out his intended purposes.
Heb “until he has done and until he has carried out the purposes of his heart.”

In days to come
Heb “in the latter days.” However, as BDB 31 s.v. אַחֲרִית b suggests, the meaning of this idiom must be determined from the context. Sometimes it has remote, even eschatological, reference and other times it has more immediate reference as it does here and in Jer 30:23 where it refers to the coming days of Babylonian conquest and exile.

you people will come to understand this clearly.
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).
