Commentary for Jeremiah 23:18
כִּ֣י מִ֤י עָמַד֙ בְּס֣וֹד יְהוָ֔ה וְיֵ֖רֶא וְיִשְׁמַ֣ע אֶת־דְּבָר֑וֹ מִֽי־הִקְשִׁ֥יב דברי [דְּבָר֖וֹ] וַיִּשְׁמָֽע׃ (ס)
For who hath stood in the council of the LORD, That he should perceive and hear His word? Who hath attended to His word, and heard it?
Rashi on Jeremiah
For who stood in the council of the Lord and will hear what is decreed by Him? He who hearkened to the word of His Torah and listened to His commandments, but not these wicked men. The first expression of ֹשְמִיעָה in the verse is actual hearing; the latter expression of ֹשְמִיעָה is an expression of acceptance.
