Jeremiah 1:11-14

11Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”

12Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”

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

14Then the Lord said to me: “Out of the north calamity shall break forth On all the inhabitants of the land.
