Contextual Overview
9 A message to the prophets: My heart is broken. All my bones shake. I'm like someone who is drunk, like someone who has been overcome with wine. This is because of the Lord and his holy words. 10 The land of Judah is full of people who are guilty of adultery. Because of this, the Lord cursed the land. It has become a very sad place, and the pastures have dried up. The people are evil and use their power in the wrong way. 11 "Both the prophets and the priests live as if there were no God. I have found them doing evil things even in my own Temple," says the Lord . 12 "So they will be in danger. They will be forced into darkness where they will be defeated. I will bring disaster on them in the year I punish them," says the Lord . 13 "I saw the prophets of Samaria do something wrong. Those prophets prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel away. 14 And I have seen the prophets of Jerusalem do terrible things. They are guilty of adultery and live by lies. They encourage evil people to keep on doing evil, so the people don't stop sinning. All of those people are like the city of Sodom. The people of Jerusalem are like the city of Gomorrah to me!" 15 So this is what the Lord All-Powerful says about the prophets: "I will make those prophets eat bitter food and drink poisoned water, because the prophets of Jerusalem spread wickedness through the whole country." 16 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: "Don't pay attention to what those prophets are saying to you. They are trying to fool you. They talk about visions their own minds made up, not about visions from me. 17 They say to those who hate me: ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.' They say to all those who are stubborn and do as they please: ‘Nothing bad will happen to you.' 18 But none of these prophets has stood in the meeting of angels to see or hear the message of the Lord . None of them has paid close attention to his message.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The anger of the Lord shall not return,.... Having a commission from him, and being sent forth on an errand to do business for him, it shall not return to him, without having done it; as a servant sent by his master does not return till he has finished what he was sent about:
until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart; all his counsels, purposes, and designs, respecting those his anger kindled against, the false prophets and wicked Jews:
in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly; when too late to avert it by repentance and reformation when all this shall be fulfilled, and the seventy years captivity take place; or, "in the end of days" d; in the latter part off time, when the Jews shall be converted, and seek the Lord their God, Hosea 3:5; then "shall [they] understand it with an understanding" e, as it may be rendered; when they shall have the veil removed from them, and turn to the Lord; then they shall have a true and thorough understanding of these things; of the cause and reason of them; and of the mind of God in them, and the ends to be answered by them. Kimchi says this will be in the times of the Messiah.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The latter days - The proper and final development of any event or series of events. Thus, the expression is used of the Christian dispensation as the full development of the Jewish Church. Here it means the destruction of Jerusalem, as the result of the sins of the Jews.
Consider - Rather, understand. When Jerusalem is destroyed, the exiles - taught by adversity - will understand that it was sin which brought ruin upon their country.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 23:20. In the latter days ye shall consider it — I give you warning: and this punishment which I now threaten shall surely take place; a short time will determine it; ye shall not escape.
