Jeremiah 1:11-16

11Moreover the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. 12Then said Yhwh unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. 13And the word of Yhwh came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.1 14Then Yhwh said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.2 15For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Yhwh; 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 utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
