Jeremiah 1:11-16

11And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.

12And Jehovah said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watchful over my word to perform it.

13And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething-pot, and its face is from the north.

14And Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north shall evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

15For behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah, and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah:

16and I will pronounce my judgments against them for all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other 1gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
