Jeremiah 1:13-16
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Again the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething [a]pot looking out of the North.
14 Then said the Lord unto me, Out of the [b]North shall a plague be spread upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the North, saith the Lord, and they shall come, and everyone shall set his throne in the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and on all the walls thereof round about, and in all the cities of Judah.
16 And I will declare unto them my [c]judgments touching all the wickedness of them that have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

Jeremiah 1:13-16
New International Version
13 The word of the Lord came to me again: “What do you see?”(A)
“I see a pot that is boiling,” I answered. “It is tilting toward us from the north.”
14 The Lord said to me, “From the north(B) disaster will be poured out on all who live in the land. 15 I am about to summon all the peoples of the northern kingdoms,” declares the Lord.
“Their kings will come and set up their thrones
in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem;
they will come against all her surrounding walls
and against all the towns of Judah.(C)
16 I will pronounce my judgments(D) on my people
because of their wickedness(E) in forsaking me,(F)
in burning incense to other gods(G)
and in worshiping(H) what their hands have made.(I)
