Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 23:18

_ _ 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 Jeremiah 23:22; Job 15:8). The spiritual man alone has the privilege (Genesis 18:17; Psalms 25:14; Amos 3:7; John 15:15; 1 Corinthians 2:16).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 23:9-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 23:18

For who — Which of those prophets, that prophesy such terrible things against this city is a privy — counsellor to God? The words seem to be the words of the false prophets.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 23:18

For (p) who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard [it]?

(p) Thus they derided Jeremiah as though the word of God was not revealed to him, so also spoke Zedekiah to Micaiah, (1 Kings 22:24).
