Jeremiah 23:24 Summary
[This verse reminds us that God is everywhere and sees everything, which means we can't hide anything from Him. As it says in Psalm 139:7-10, God's presence fills the whole universe. Knowing this should help us want to live in a way that pleases Him. By trusting in God's all-seeing nature, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6, we can find peace and guidance in our lives.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that God fills the heavens and the earth?
This statement in Jeremiah 23:24 emphasizes God's omnipresence, meaning He is present everywhere in the universe, as also stated in Psalm 139:7-10 and Isaiah 66:1.
Can people really hide from God?
According to Jeremiah 23:24, the answer is no, God can see everyone and everything, which is reinforced in Hebrews 4:13, stating that all things are naked and open to God's eyes.
Why does God ask if a man can hide in secret places?
God asks this rhetorical question to highlight the futility of attempting to hide from Him, emphasizing His all-seeing nature, similar to what is said in Job 34:21-22, where God's eyes are on the ways of men.
How does this verse relate to our daily lives?
Understanding that God is always present and sees all things should inspire reverence, trust, and obedience in our lives, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6, to trust in the Lord with all our heart.

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 23:24
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 23:24
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. Can any hide himself ... that I shall not see him?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 23:24
What do these atheistical priests, and prophets, and people think? Do they think that I, who am a God of purer eyes than to behold iniquity, see and take notice of what doctrine they preach, and what lives they live? If they did, surely they would not dare to do as they do. Do they think that I do not see or take notice of them? Can any hide themselves out of my sight? I fill heaven and earth, not only with my influence, but with my essence, with the immensity of my being; which, as it cannot be circumscribed by any, so it is shut out of no place.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 23:24
Jeremiah 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.Ver. 24. Can any man hide himself in secret places?] Hide he may God from himself, but not himself from God; though atheists are apt to think (as they say the struthiocamelus doth when he hath thrust his head in a hole) that because they see none, therefore none seeth them. Do I not fill heaven and earth?] See Psalms 139:3; Psalms 139:5; Psalms 139:7; Psalms 139:11 Isaiah 66:1. Plin.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 23:24
Jeremiah 23:9-40. Condemnation of the prophets Following on the prophecies relating to successive kings of Judah, we have a section dealing with the iniquities of a class who also grievously misled the nation. The passage doubtless contains much that is genuine, but, from the diffuseness of style, especially in the latter part, it may be safely inferred that additional matter has been inserted. Commentators, however, are by no means agreed as to the amount of the latter. Du. omits all after Jeremiah 23:15, Co. nearly all after Jeremiah 23:24, Gi. Jeremiah 23:30-40, while the last-named also rejects Jeremiah 23:18-21. Jeremiah 23:9-17 and again 23–29 are in Ḳ ?inah rhythm. Elsewhere metre is for the most part irregular or absent. The collection of utterances, so far as genuine, may have probably belonged to the last part of Zedekiah’s reign. The section may be thus subdivided.
(i) Jeremiah 23:9-15. Jeremiah is undone and nerveless because of the Lord’s message to a land whose profligacy has brought on it a curse. The Temple itself is polluted by the iniquities of prophets and priests. They shall be as men driven in the dark along slippery ways till they fall. The prophets of Samaria led the people astray by alleged prophecies of their false deity, while the prophets of Jerusalem shock Jehovah still more by immorality, lying, and the encouragement of others in permanent evil-doing. They have reached the infamy of the cities of the plain. They have infected all the land; therefore shall wormwood and gall be their food. (ii) Jeremiah 23:16-18. It is from the prophets’ own imaginations and not from Jehovah that their pleasing promises of immunity from evil come. Who is there who has visited His heavenly abode, there to learn His purposes?
(iii) Jeremiah 23:19-20. Jehovah’s wrath shall break, like a storm, on the head of the wicked, and shall not be recalled till His purpose is fully achieved. (iv) Jeremiah 23:21-24. Those prophets were not commissioned nor inspired by the Lord; else they would have delivered His rebuke of the people’s sins. He is omnipresent. They cannot escape His observation. (v) Jeremiah 23:25-29. How long shall they adduce dreams, dreams forsooth, in support of their lying predictions, making the real character of Jehovah to be forgotten by the people, even as their fathers thought of Him as though He were no better than one of the Baals? Let the dream be told, and let Jehovah’s message be told as well; but let the utterances which embody the two be sharply distinguished, as stubble from wheat. Jehovah’s word is as fire, and as a hammer which breaketh the rocks.
(vi) Jeremiah 23:30-32. He is against the prophets who steal their announcements from the true prophets, and with ready tongue claim that they are from Him, who lead His people astray with delusive dreams and claims to Divine authority. They have not His commission, and so are without value. (vii) Jeremiah 23:33-40.
