jeremiah 23:18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

jeremiah 23:18 "But who has stood in the council of the LORD, That he should see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and listened?

18. A reason is given why the false prophets should not be heeded: They have not stood in the counsels of Jehovah (an image from ministers present in a standing posture at councils of Eastern kings) (compare Jer 23:22; Job 15:8). The spiritual man alone has the privilege (Ge 18:17; Ps 25:14; Am 3:7; Joh 15:15; 1Co 2:16).

jeremiah 23:18 "But who has stood in the council of the LORD, That he should see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and listened?
