Jeremiah 1:13-15

13And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “1What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling 2pot, facing away from the north.”

14Then the Lord said to me, “3Out of the north the evil 4will be unleashed on all the inhabitants of the land.

15For, behold, I am calling 5all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” declares the Lord; “and they will come and 6place, each one of them, his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls around, and against all the 7cities of Judah.
