Jeremiah 1:11-16

11And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, askingH559, “JeremiahH3414, whatH4100 do youH859 seeH7200?”

“IH589 seeH7200 a branchH4731 of an almond treeH8247,” I repliedH559.

12“You have observedH7200 correctlyH3190,” saidH559 the LORDH3068, “forH3588 IH589 am watchingH82451 overH5921 My wordH1697 to accomplish itH6213.”

13AgainH8145 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, askingH559, “WhatH4100 do youH859 seeH7200?”

“IH589 seeH7200 a boilingH5301 potH5518,” I repliedH559, “and it is tilting toward usH6440 fromH6440 the northH6828.”

14Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413, “DisasterH7451 from the northH6828 will be poured outH6605 onH5921 allH3605 who liveH3427 in the landH776. 15ForH3588H2005 I am about to summonH7121 allH3605 the clansH4940 and kingdomsH4467 of the northH6828,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

“Their kings will comeH935H376 and set upH5414 their thronesH3678at the entranceH6607 of the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.They will attackH5921 allH3605 her surroundingH5439H5921 wallsH2346and allH3605 the other citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.16I will pronounceH1696 My judgmentsH4941 against themH854forH5921 allH3605 their wickednessH7451,becauseH834 they have forsaken MeH5800,and they have burned incenseH6999 to otherH312 godsH430and worshipedH7812 the worksH4639 of their own handsH3027.
