18

For who has stood in the council of the LORD,

that he should perceive and hear his word?

Who has listened to my word, and heard it?

Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out.

Yes, a whirling storm!

It will burst on the head of the wicked.

and performed the intents of his heart.

In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.

then they would have caused my people to hear my words,

and would have turned them from their evil way,

and from the evil of their doings.
