Jeremiah 1:11-14

¹¹ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ^(A)“Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see an almond^[a] branch.” ¹² Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.”

¹³ The word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see ^(B)a boiling pot, facing away ^(C)from the north.” ¹⁴ Then the Lord said to me, ^(D)“Out of the north disaster^[b] shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land.
