These are the words of Jeremiah to the false prophets, "Who of you, O false prophets, can boast of having really entered into the secrets of the Almighty? I will shew you very much the contrary. His fury shall burst forth upon you in a terrible manner; your own destruction shall shew the falsehood of your prophesy, Jeremiah 23:19 then shall you comprehend the secrets, and enter into the designs of the Lord. In the latter days ye shall understand my counsel perfectly," Jeremiah 23:20.
