The fierce anger of the LORD
This phrase underscores the intensity of God's righteous indignation. The Hebrew word for "fierce" is "charon," which conveys a burning or consuming anger. This is not a capricious wrath but a just response to the persistent rebellion and sin of the people. Historically, the Israelites had repeatedly turned away from God, despite His continuous calls for repentance. This anger is a reflection of God's holiness and justice, which cannot tolerate sin indefinitely.

will not turn back
The phrase indicates the certainty and inevitability of God's judgment. The Hebrew root "shuv" means to return or turn back, and its use here emphasizes that God's decision is firm. In the context of Jeremiah's prophecies, this serves as a warning that the consequences of sin are unavoidable unless there is genuine repentance. It reflects the biblical principle that God is patient but His patience has limits when it comes to unrepentant sin.

until He has fully accomplished
This part of the verse speaks to the completeness and thoroughness of God's actions. The Hebrew word "asah" means to do or make, and in this context, it implies that God's purposes will be fully realized. It reassures believers that God's plans are not haphazard but are carried out with precision and purpose. Historically, this would have been a comfort to the faithful remnant, knowing that God's ultimate goal is restoration and redemption.

the purposes of His heart
Here, "purposes" translates from the Hebrew "machashabah," which means thoughts or plans. This highlights that God's actions are not arbitrary but are driven by His divine wisdom and love. The "heart" in Hebrew, "lev," often refers to the center of one's being, encompassing mind, will, and emotions. This assures us that God's judgments are rooted in His character and His ultimate desire for the good of His people.

In the days to come
This phrase points to a future time, indicating that the fulfillment of God's plans is certain, though it may not be immediate. It encourages believers to trust in God's timing, which is perfect and often beyond human understanding. The prophetic nature of this statement would have provided hope to the Israelites, reminding them that despite current hardships, God's promises will be fulfilled.

you will understand this
The promise of understanding suggests that the people will eventually see the wisdom and justice in God's actions. The Hebrew word "bin" means to discern or perceive, indicating a deeper comprehension that comes with time and reflection. This is a call to faith, trusting that God's ways, though sometimes mysterious, are ultimately for the best. It reassures believers that clarity and insight will come, reinforcing the biblical theme that God's ways are higher than our ways.
