Jeremiah 1:13-16

International Children’s Bible

¹³The Lord spoke his word to me again: “Jeremiah, what do you see?”

I answered the Lord and said, “I see a pot of boiling water. It is tipping over from the north!”

¹⁴The Lord said to me, “Disaster will come from the north. It will happen to all the people who live in this country. ¹⁵In a short time I will call all of the people in the northern kingdoms,” said the Lord.

“Those kings will come and set up their thrones
    near the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem.
They will attack the city walls around Jerusalem.
    They will attack all the cities in Judah.
¹⁶And I will announce my judgments against my people.
    I will do this because of their evil in turning away from me.
They offered sacrifices to other gods.
    And they worshiped idols they had made with their own hands.
