Exegesis
The temporal phrase bə-ʾa-ḥă-rîṯ ha-yā-mîm {בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים | bə-ʾa-ḥă-rîṯ ha-yā-mîm} “in the latter days” introduces an eschatological horizon, and the concluding clause tit-bō-ne-nū bāh bîn-nāh {תִּתְבּוֹנְנוּ בָּהּ בִּינָה | tit-bō-ne-nū bāh bîn-nāh} “you will understand it with insight” leverages the root ב־י־נ to emphasize precise future discernment.
In context — Jeremiah 23:20
The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has carried out and established the plans of His heart. In the latter time, you will understand it with insight .
