Jeremiah 23:1 Scripture Reference - Note a similar verse:

Jeremiah 23:23-25 Comments - Jeremiah 23:24-25 reveals one aspect of God’s divine character as being omnipresent, that is, He is present everywhere. Jeremiah 2:25 reveals another aspect of God’s character as being omniscient, or all-knowing.
Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Jeremiah 23:29 Scripture References - Note:
