Jeremiah 1:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 And the word of the Lord 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 the Lord said to me, “(C)Out of the north the evil [a]will be unleashed on all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For, behold, I am calling (D)all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” declares the Lord; “and they will come and (E)place, each one of them, his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls around, and against all the (F)cities of Judah. 16 And I will [b]pronounce My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, since they have (G)abandoned Me and have [c](H)offered sacrifices to other gods, and worshiped the (I)works of their own hands.

Jeremiah 1:13-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 Again the word of the Lord came to me inquiring, “What do you see?”
And I replied, “I see a boiling pot,(A) its lip tilted from the north to the south.”
14 Then the Lord said to me, “Disaster will be poured out[a] from the north(B) on all who live in the land. 15 Indeed, I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north.”(C)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
They will come, and each king will set up his throne
at the entrance to Jerusalem’s gates.
They will attack all her surrounding walls
and all the other cities of Judah.
16 “I will pronounce My judgments against them for all the evil they did when they abandoned Me to burn incense to other gods and to worship the works of their own hands.(D)
