New King James Version
13 And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?”
And I said, “I see (A)a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north.”
14 Then the Lord said to me:
“Out of the (B)north calamity shall break forth
On all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For behold, I am (C)calling
All the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the Lord;

At the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,
Against all its walls all around,
And against all the cities of Judah.
