Jeremiah 1:13-16
Legacy Standard Bible
13 The word of Yahweh came to me a second time saying, “(A)What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling (B)pot, facing away from the north.” 14 Then Yahweh said to me, “(C)From the north the evil [a]will break open on all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For, behold, I am calling (D)all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” declares Yahweh; “and they will come, and each one of them will (E)put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls round about and against all the (F)cities of Judah. 16 I will speak My judgments on them concerning all their evil, whereby they have (G)forsaken Me and have (H)burned incense to other gods and worshiped the (I)works of their own hands.

Jeremiah 1:13-16
International Standard Version
13 This message from the Lord came to me a second time: “What do you see?”
I replied, “I see a boiling pot, and its mouth is tilted away from the north.”
14 Then the Lord told me, “From the north disaster will pour out on all who live in the land, 15 because I’m about to summon all the families and kingdoms from the north,” declares the Lord.
“They’ll come and each one will set up his seat[a]
at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,
against all of its surrounding walls,
and against all of the towns of Judah.
16 “I’ll pronounce my judgments against them
because of all their wickedness.
They have forsaken me,
they have burned incense to other gods,
and they have bowed down in worship
to the works of their own[b] hands.”[c]
