Jeremiah 1:13-15
Christian Standard Bible
13 Again the word of the Lord came to me asking, “What do you see?”
And I replied, “I see a boiling pot,(A) its lip tilted from the north to the south.”
14 Then the Lord said to me, “Disaster will be poured out[a] from the north(B) on all who live in the land. 15 Indeed, I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north.”(C)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
They will come, and each king will set up his throne
at the entrance to Jerusalem’s gates.
They will attack all her surrounding walls
and all the other cities of Judah.
