Clarke's Jeremiah 23:18 Bible Commentary
Who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord - Who of them has ever received a word of prophecy from me? My word is not in them.
Barnes's Jeremiah 23:18 Bible Commentary
The prophet now applies this test to the circumstances of the times. A whirlwind has already gone forth Jeremiah 23:19. Had these false prophets stood in God's secret "Council" (so in Jeremiah 23:22), they like Jeremiah would have labored to avert the danger by turning men from their evil way.
Wesley's Jeremiah 23:18 Bible Commentary
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.
